Angry Damn cars sometimes

I haven't started a thread in a little while, so I thought I would let you guys know what I'm doing lately.

I've been working on my sisters 1998 ford escort ZX2 that she got for her first car. I've replaced the shift sensor on her transmission, done a brake inspection, checked struts, etc... Looks like the car was totaled twice, or at least once, but we got a hell of a deal on it. Anyways, car runs nice and everything, even has more balls then my MX6 but anyways, inspected everything on it, replaced the sensor, changed the oil, transmission fluid, and battery. Anyways I'm working on a wiring issue with it right now; CD player is draining the battery so I've got to trace it down, and it's looking like the 6disk changer or the head unit is draining the system... Might just take the 6 disk and head unit out and replace it with an aftermarket unit.

Now onto the MX6. Nothing majorly going wrong with it other than my heater fan going out, and the heater switch going out also. Have to rip half the dash out to fix it all outside while -35*C but I got all of that fixed, but now my engine has fried the spark plugs that have less than 50,000km's on them... good thing I keep my old plugs and wires

Now for the stang she has been getting worked on for the gauges. They are almost done, just have to get connected (all wires run) and mounted (screw them in) then its onto the engine bay/transmission. I still have to take the transmission out and fix my leak as well as lift the transmission higher. It's sitting to low for my liking. Then fix the motor mounts, oil feed and the return and I'm good to go for summer

So as you can see, I've been a little busy lately Doing all this, work, school, running 2 businesses, and helping on here, turboford, and on mx6.

So what have you all been up to
