:smilielol5: this is very very true...

I still don't have either of my trannies.... Parts have been cryoed so there's that.

Waiting on some parts to arrive. :icon_no2:

Left rear caliper won't bleed.


FUCK.

Damn son.

If it ain't one thing, its another. Spent most of the day trying to track down someone who could boil the fuel tank, or whatever. No luck. So, its a pressure washer and acetone for me.

Might need to buy stock in fuel filters.

You're still in a better position than I am.....

Minor set-backs I've had recently:

The "painter" that sat on my car for 9 months and never started it occasionally like I had asked apparently never did and fried the battery using a jump box. I bought a new battery a few weeks ago. .

Then starter went went south too! I had to push start the car to get it home a couple weeks ago!

I got a replacement starter since mine was under warranty but that one wasn't any better than the one I took off (The battery was fully charged). Like DJ said "If it ain't one thing, its another." Although it would work most of the time it would just click. . click. click and never engage when I turned the key on other tries. The guys at the auto parts store were reluctant to replace it since it tested good on their fancy machine. . . Anyways I got the new one on and it works great!

Since I've replaced the battery I've noticed that the volt meter was lower than usual. This may explain why it took so long for my battery maintainer to completely charge the battery. While I was at Advance I had them check the alternator on that fancy machine but it didn't even recognize there was anything attached to it, assuming they didn't know what they were doing I just checked it once I got home after reassembling the car with the new starter. .

Sure enough! alternator dead too!!! What a great (expensive) day it was, I feel for anyone that has to replace a 3rd gen alternator because they're freaking expensive! You're looking at around $300 for a replacement! Not what I paid though, I luckily still know people that work for Advance so I got a "hook up", $190 out the door. Still expensive but better that what I was prepared to pay.

Anyways, , once all this is over with I hope it's just "check air pressure/rotate tires, apply Auto wrap protective film to front of car and check/top off fluids." like I had planned before.

There is always this too. I know about the no-no's of cross posting but it may help.

Or buy cleanable inline filters.

So Weather Channel is saying 0-10% chance of rain on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I hope they are telling the truth.

Yea, it's been changing every couple hours... We'll see what it says like Tuesday.

I posted this in my Cosmo thread as well.

Wheels aren't supposed to ship until Tuesday, unless a miracle happens and they ship Monday. I stressed the importance to them, but I'm at their mercy.

So, chances are pretty good that the Cosmo won't make it this year. I am pretty crushed about it, but that at least gives me a year to make it look good. It is total rat rod status currently.

New shoes, washed, clayed, and one coat of wax down. Plugs and oil change and I will be ready!

Blow..... Me.....
