Just finished adjusting the valves, cleaned the dual point throttle body, injectors, and intake manifold. I put a new spark plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor, new catty and o2 sensor. Taking it to emissions testing tommorow. I hope it passes!
Found some rust After washing the engine bay I found the rust right by the tranny mount. Ripped out all unnecessary wires that were in under the hood. Waiting on the tranny mount, once that gets here than in goes the LS. YAY!
Rust is gone. Sanded it down all the way to the metal and sprayed half the engine bay cuz I ran out. Installed the lip I fabbed up. Don't know if I should use the one off the Volvo or the Integra. Oh well, the one from the Volvo is on and it's super low.
since i cant find a tranny right away, i decided to go ahead and do a wire and brake tuck. prepping the bay for paint this weekend. pics as soon as i get them loaded on puter
Replaced 3 headlight bulbs in my gf's wagon. She had one high beam and one low beam out, ended up getting pulled over. They looked like they might have been the orignal bulbs (Stanley)
Will be doing my bulbs soon just for the heck of it.
Stripping paint to find more and more rust. Have holes in the doors, rockers, quarters, and fenders. I'm gonna be replacing what's possible and patching the rest. Just trying to make the winter beater as nice as reasonably possible.
Tire inflated, battery is on the charger... I haven't daily driven this car since before my trip to the All Good Music Festival in July, but it's now time...
Earlier this week I ran some injector cleaner "guaranteed to pass" in the tank.
Today I gave her a new air filter, and sprayed out the Carb with cleaner. Took care of my rough idle and she doesn't die when cold anymore.
I also cleaned off an iced coffee drink some asshole threw at her last night while we slept.
Downtown SF is a crazy place.
I am going to get her tires soon. Monday she gets an oil change and ill see about replacing her right cv boot.
