Well now that we've had a few nice days in IL I decided to get the ole mark up and going. And thats been a adventure...
First midway through the winter my battery froze in the -30 temps and it hasnt taken a charge since then. My dad had the old bat from his truck laying around and guess what, It was dead in a couple weeks. Idk if its draining from lack of use or something is draining it. Anywho it starts with a jump and as long as I dont leave it off for more than a day it starts fine. So I'm hoping a new bat will take care of this issue, but it appears that leaving them sit during the winter is almost as hard as driving them.
The newest prolems is that my heater fan isnt working at all. I had this problem once b4 where water was getting on a board and it wasnt working. So I resealed that thing under the cowl. I kind of wondering if this isnt the problem again. I suppose I'll check it out when its a bit nicer out.
Anyway I started a nice list of things that need to be done b4 the beach party and I dont think it will be fun.
1. Change Oil Pan
2. New Blend Door
3. Find leak in brand new bags (places to look here would be helpful, but I think its just the seal isnt sealed right)
4. Find Vacum leak
5. Change Sway bar end link
6. Figure how to make my radio stop whisteling. A power wire and speaker cable are touching somewhere and I dont know where.
Even with that list I still missed driving the car and have enjoyed it the past couple days.
