    One is not like the other. Today was one of those days... Had a bunch of a hole 6th graders in art, was waiting 4 months for a camera repair place to open the next wave of repairs today.. they opened and closed the repair forms in 8 minutes... Did not get a ticket for that. The cherry on top...

    I actually did replace the relay. I think I bought it from city racer. It was not too hard although one of the wire screws immediately stripped. I used a small tap to fix that. Haha I know... luckly it seems like we have already paid for most every thing at this point. I think I still will...

    Some Updates: I ended up rebuilding the wipers on my own. I didnt take many pictures but one thing of note was the fact that the passenger wiper had Philips head screws that hold it together and the drivers side has flat had screws. Looked to be from factory. Maybe the motor was replaced or just...

    Thanks @ToyotaMatt Love the key chain with the keys too! So I installed these both after work. the little clip that holds the door lock in was one of the most difficult jobs done thus far... my big hands dont fit in that door well haha. But my door locks and unlocks now. The voltage regulator...

    I forgot to mention I replaced the valve cover gaskets on the sbc. No wonder they were leaking.. The bolts were looser than hand tight. I took them out without a wrench. I am surprised I did not notice this before. The gaskets were not terrible but I replaced them anyway. I suspect the valve...

    Safety first! I got some aviation style belts from Retro belt in today took about thirty minutes to install. They look the part and I am very happy with them. I almost went with the red but this ivory color looks good with the coral covers.

    Corroseal is great stuff! I have used it through an electric spray gun on stuff like floor pains. Its what I would recommend most. I would know I live at the beach and everything dissolves if you dont keep an eye on it. if you need small parts rust free ospho is also great.
