1) Control Arms
2) Transmission Fluid/Filter change
3) Door Brake

I swapped Brian's wheels out for my 95's, so it has new rubber too.

Upcoming bits:

Lock actuator for driver door
Washer fluid motor (leaks like crazy)

I've also got a thud that I can feel in the front end area, not sure if it's a Bilstien strut issue or not - so that's on the table to investigate further once they paychecks start coming in.
