Getting there...getting there ...
Battery has been left plugged for 4 days now with just the "dome lights" fuse pulled out.... and it doesn't look like it is draining as it started fine last night... So since the dash lights work now, the blinker is fixed, the rear speakers have been removed, the rear wiper/wiper motor removed.... I am starting putting the dash back on (This is where I realize I should have been more organized as I can;t remember what screw goes where lol).
I changed the radiator cap and it seems like it solved my issue with coolant puking everywhere....
I have been to the junk yard to look at how it works and found a couple of things.... mirrors, plugs for the wiper, ccv tube, air cleaner box cover (mine was broken).
Still a bit of learning/working to do. I am going slowly and after extensive search/questions but I think I am close to finally got have it registered and on the road.
Next step, suspension.... I will probbaly bug you for some info/tricks/tips to fix the suspension after I have looked more into it.
I also see a playing with the engine mounts at some point, the rubber is dry and falling apart....
So far I love it, it definitely is a great feeling to be working on your own vehicle (especially when you are not a mechanic
)
