I have done a few lately, don't remember which were the most recent.
Headers, dual exhaust.
Transmission lockup-problem fixed
In the middle of:
Fuel injection install (mount computer, run wire harness, plumb new fuel lines. I have to remove 90% of the interior just to do the wiring and mount the computer)
TV made EZ cable for trans.( drop the damn trans pan again)
insulation for cabin area.
thermal wrap the exhuast pipes under the car.
Build ramps / lift for car.
Headers, dual exhaust.

Work in Progress:
After most of the rear busted I have to install
New Halfshafts
New U joints for Halfshafts
New Rear End Cover
New Diff Yoke
Around $550. There goes saving up for sidepipes.
