Yeah, I used a festoon for the back as well. As for the blinds, they are trash now. They warped all to hell on the first 95 degree day. Oh well, they were fun while they lasted! Got the alt. repaired today. The Diode went out in it. Did not get her back together though, that will have to wait til' tomorrow.

is the alternator back in ..???
:hopelessness:
Scrappy is all packed up and loaded down .....!!!!
got a few temporary fixes going on just to get him by for this oneway trip
I was sick as a dog yesterday, but alternator is back in today. Jumped on it right after work! Also gave her an oil change and had to replace fusible link to the battery after shorting out the alternator post...oops. Happy to be back!
My left front brake started scraping the other night. Time to buy pads! Brakes never quite since I had the car. I bled them well & went through them when I first got the car. After that, I never thought much of it. It didn't feel like it had full brakes but I kinda got used to it and drove accordingly. When I went to put on pads I figured out why. The right side pads were completely gone. Left side were still new. Apparently the left caliper has been froze up this whole time. Cant believe I have driven 22,000 miles like this Ha! Well went to the junkyard to get a caliper today. Found a sweet 91 sedan with 114K on it. Snagged the caliper and a power steering pump cause mine has been leaking for some time & just recently got real bad! Got the power steering pump changed out. That was a breeze. Now I am sitting with a broke off wheel stud and a caliper that don't fit the wagon. Thought sure the caliper was the same. Guess not Oh well, I'll just source a new one on Monday. She'll be back on the road and safer soon! Can't wait to feel how my car stops with four brakes instead of three!
How she rests tonight:
Good to hear you're getting problems fixed. Let us know when you end up getting the caliper done. I personally would get re-mans from Autozone
and turn in yours for cores. That's what I did when I upgraded to the Integra spindles and found out both calipers were seized. Good luck!
Remanufactured caliper was sourced at Carquest for $63. Core charge of like $75! Wow. Needless to say I let them have my old one!
Got it put on and we're good to go again. It's nice to have brakes and a power steering pump that doesn't leave a puddle everywhere I park.
My parking lot at work is concrete and every time I got off work there was about a 4" diameter puddle. Last night when I left work, I left nothing
Man, I want to go so bad. Unfortunately I had prior plans for that weekend that I can't miss out on.
That is why I am hosting my own meet in May. Wish I could meet you guys at IA though.
Back on the road for two days and my starter craps out. At least I think that is what's going on. Started the car up and it made at terrible whining noise. Looked under the hood and that's the area it was coming from. Turned off the ignition and starter was still running. Weird. Wagon hast to be left at my buddy's house. It'll be a day or two before I can get over there to further diagnose the situation.
