Hey! I'm back. I am giving another
update on the car. I've cleaned all the salt off of it a couple days ago
but, there was kind of no purpose to it.
See if it shows it. Nah, not showing it very well.
There's some.
And you can kind of see, it's got all this pollen on it which is really annoying. It's a bad thing
about parking it outside all the time.
But, I guess I'm gonna have to tolerate that. Gonna have to get some gas
soon, but I'm trying not to put too much in it because
we're going to get it tuned up soon! Which is a good thing,
because it's been running really rich.
The wheel coloring is worn off and it's muddy again.
But, yeah.
I just got done working on it.
Doors open and smoke, close, pretty smoothly.
Still,
no headliner at all.
That'll probably be one of the last things I do.
Let me get my keys out.
We managed to get the
vent controls working
so that it would change it from vent to heater to defroster,
because before it was stuck on those little black ones
and it wouldn't do much for the defrosters
or their regular vent,
but now we've got it set to where it changes them pretty well,
which is a good thing, its refreshing, especially in the cold weather we've
been having.
Although, ironically, now it's been really
freaking hot, but that's not my main news.
NOT the main news.
Well aside from the tuning there's also more good news.
Let me stick the key in here.
Turn it on, there's lights.
The radio,
of course I think I showed you it works now.
These are the speakers, there's one right there and one right there,
and then there are two in the back.
However, those were unplugged.
They were
unplugged and not working so we got in the back and we plugged them in and now they work.
Anyway, that's just an extra bit of news.
The wipers. Before, the wipers only worked half the time and the squirters never worked,
but now we've gotten it so that, hold on,
the wipers work
and it squirts now!
The delays don't work but ah well. I guess it's not that important.
I like how they hide down underneath there so you don't see them when they're not being used.
Got a new car scent
scented thing because it's not, it doesn't, I don't know this car tends to stink for
some reason.
Student parking for my school.
I've been driving this thing to school and it's been doing pretty well.
The gas mileage is horrible where it's running rich, but
that's not bad. We took the glove box out and found the antenna wire.
We will probably end up replacing that because the antenna doesn't get that good of a
reception.
Um, we looked back behind there to see what all we could
do about the air conditioning and we managed to loosen up the hot and
cold slider and that's also how we got these controls working.
We don't even know what we did but they managed to work.
Glove box is not that hard to take out.
You just take out these screws.
Emergency trunk release is right there,
and then you take out those screws and you also have to take off this little
lid thingy and then behind it we found out that
somehow water's been getting an underneath the dashboard.
We think that there's a leak in the windshield somewhere, so,
we're prolly gonna take some sealant and seal along the bottom of it some extra.
It's pretty rusty back behind the dashboard.
Pedals, I need to clean 'em.
I need to clean the floor again, been driving it in the snow like I was saying so it's very
dirty. Center console.
Been keeping my change there. A random,
hm, bolt. But yeah,
other than that I've not done anything to this car recently.
I'm probably gonna clean it again sometime soon,
but not even sure on that, I might wait until after the tune up
and who knows when he'll be able to do the tune-up for us. The little
beep tone. I've been looking, there was originally
an eight track player in this, because see this thing releases
and you can take this cover off, but
you can also take the entire thing off.
And, if we get out.
Shuts easily and
let's open up the trunk.
Been trying to see what I can do to get
this old eight track player to work.
Doesn't appear like it's gonna be that easy.
You see, the plugs on the back of it
are a lot different than the plugs on the radio currently in there.
Going to have to replace all that and I'd also have to take the black surrounding off.
But yeah, I just wanted to show what all I've been doing.
Here, if we
go someplace where sun's not shining on it.
There we go, um, that's the old motor.
It was in terrible shape, didn't work at all.
Only where, well, it would move the wipers sometime but not even all the time.
So we just took that one out and put a new one on
and it works. Got a sticker on it.
And, had a oil change.
And it's got a license plate although I don't want to show you the number on that.
So, it's a classic plate though.
Kind of identifies my car as being classic
and it's got a few classic cars on it. But yeah, I just wanted to update you on that.
That'll be all for now.
