Lol, I only had two of the visors, and one is getting shipped out to okiewagon as part of a trade for the pedals. Need pedals more than visors.
Anyway, the pedals are almost out of the paint booth. Yes. Paint booth. It's clearly a paint booth.
Still drying:
Again rained out on putting them in. I should have another box of parts coming in later today, just waiting on USPS to drop off my rockauto order, and okiewagon should be sending me the power steering line I need. Hopefully next week I'll have a functioning wagon.
Been a bit too focused on embarrassing mustang owners with my prelude as of late, but the war wagon has not been forgotten.
Part of my rockauto order came in today. Got the temperature sender replaced in the matter of a few minutes. Spilled some coolant, but oh well. Hopefully that fixes my erratic temperature gauge. Worst case, I'll have to look into other causes and suspect that the motor is in fact overheating. But it seems to be fine, just a weird reading gauge. Found a vaccum leak as well that needs to be sorted, hopefully I have a hose lying around that I can use.
I hate working on this car since it's so damn dirty. I could go through 10 cans of 2+2 and this thing would still be filthy.
Pedals are out of paint, but I'm trying to figure out what way these springs need to go back on. Can't seem to find the spot for the spring on the brake pedal.
Looking at the pedals in the car now, these look like a different style, as the clutch pedal spring is different on the one's I have. It's a spring on the front that hooks into the tab on the far left, and hooks into the front of the pedal. Similar to the style of the gas pedal spring. I'm assuming these pedals are out of a newer wagon, and I'm hoping they fit fine, but I'm unsure of how the springs are set up.
The return spring on the brake pedal is a complete mystery to me at this point as well.
Any help from those with knowledge is appreciated.
Got more wagon parts in. Still need to get those pedals installed, although I think I have figured out the spring situation. More verification would make me feel better.
New AC, PS, and Alternator belts, as well as new brake pads/shoes all around.
Why must it rain EVERY single time I have a day off. Haven't driven the wagon since I got my prelude back. Want to get those pedals in but I can't seem to catch a break on weather. Supposed to pour all day monday and tuesday.
Might do a late night trip to the car wash to vaccum the filthy carpet in the wagon. The entire interior of that car needs to come out and be given some solid restoration. I'm gonna need a new drivers side seat at this point. The foam on the drivers side is essentially destroyed. Going to need to source one of those as well.

Need to get it an inspection as well.
