Damn dude, that sucks. Do you live in a rough area? Who else other than meth heads breaks into vehicles old enough to have wood paneling and thing that the radio they steal will actually be worth something?

Not to sound racist but... There is a trail or park full of Mexicans behind my house and it was about a 2009 pioneer lol. Oh well its been replaced by a blaupunkt stereo and is now parked in my garage. Took apart that big connector today when it was warm still and it looked like a bog monster sneezed tar inside.

That is the best description of the inside of a C101 connector I've ever heard. LOL.

Get a temporary garage. One of those tents with white tarp covering it. I have seen a lot of people work on jeeps during rains or whatever. It comes in handy

Had a nice clear day to work on things today and fins out some.. bad.. wiring under the hood where it looks like he tried rewiring the foglamps to work even with the headlights off.

Flushed the coolant out until it came out nice and clean.

Put a set of used goodyears on her as well only cost me 80$

Ripped out the saggy headliner and sent it to a local uphlstry shop who is making a new one for me as I type this out.

Replaced the squeaking idler pully.

Slowly getting things done as i can to get her running just right
