While I'm motivated I'm trying to do a comprehensive maintenance on my 1992 240 sedan with 175k miles. Not sure of its prior history but I've owned it for ~ 45k miles.

So far in the past couple of weeks have done new belts, fan blades, misc accessory mount bushings, new timing belt, water pump, cam/intermediate seals, engine mounts, transmission mount, flame trap, new inlet bellows, new high pressure steering hose,brake pads, headlight relay, replaced bad clock with tach, new odo gear. Have fuel pump ready to install but based on horror stories am holding off. I need to do the heater core with chainsaw method (used radiator stop leak that worked as a temp measure but suspect the cooling fluid change may trigger the leak again). Also need to replace the drivers side hood hinge and the rear light clusters which are a mess (have soldered several connections directly to the circuit board due to broken bulb holders/holder mounts etc)

So anything else to do?
