Kinda feels strange...

Post by bobioknight »

Well it feels strange that I have had nothing to post. I find myself going into the garage after work not finding anything to work on, maybe it's time for some polish and wax.

If you have enough garage space, another car???? Good to hear you have yours de-bugged. It was a bit of a challenge for you but I'm sure you learned a lot and also gained a lot of satisfaction in working through and fixing your issues! Now its time to enjoy!!
PLEASE invest a few bucks and buy all the shop manuals for your car. Definitely will save you much time and be an education.

Glad to see you got everything ironed out. Just count your good luck. Sometimes it seems like the problems never end, but they do so enjoy it.

Keep driving it, I thought I had mine worked out. then I lost the fuel pump, replaced that, and then noticed that the secondary's on the carb were dribbling. fixed that and now waiting for the rain to stop so I can drive it some more.

Got that right, gotta drive them. I try to run around town a couple times a week. My kids are always needing rides here and there, so I take advantage of that. The other day while dropping my son off, his friend said "hey cool car", now all of a sudden he sees what I've been telling him all along. LOL. Our drives are a little different now. My daughter is not question the there yet. Someday, maybe not working on the car every night will give here some security that we aren't going to breakdown. Heck I am even feeling more confident and apt to travel further.
