    Poor alignment cause tire rub??

    I’ve been expecting tire rub on my drivers side tire and only that tire. It’s the top of the tire hitting the fender. It’s not end of the world rubbing but enough to show on the tire and smell like rubber. Went to start checking for causes and right off I saw that my alignment is still off. What...

    Stop by a body shop and have them give you a quote . Repair and repaint may be less than or close to new with parts what not. I’ve had bad luck painting but others have not

    Engine Oil level sensor plug.

    Short version, my oil level sensor plug deteriorated into nothing. Half of that nothing is still in the sensor. When I remove this how much oil should I expect to come rushing out at me? Also, it looks like a single wire connector, think I can get by with some-kind of regular style...

    Got about 2 hours of driving in today. My kids love it. The wife will like it more if I put hooks for car seat in. Already have a small list of “to fix” items but man I’m loving driving her again. It’s crazy how quickly you fall back in love.

    That’s funny, mine were the blue fms wires. Ok. Got the plugs and wires tonight. This was crazy over due. Several plugs were starting to crack and the plugs were a hot mess. Gap was all over the map, 2 different brands and at least one was cracked. I started her up and she ran great, then...

    I’ve used the “dye” before and it works great on vinyl. Just make sure you’re spraying on a warmer day. Held up to abuse just fine. Carpet and fabric are harder to dye though

    Ok, the stumble was bugging me so I went out and ran the car with the lights off, had random sparks going from the wires to the ac pump and drivers side header. I believe that’s the issue. I’m also not sure if I ever changed these plugs and wires... like ever. Oops.

    Got about an hour of driving in. Tonight. Little lube on the throttle cable fixed that issue. Zip tie fixed the brake cable till I can run to the yard and get the bracket off a 94+ car. Minus needing plugs and wires, she’s driving pretty good. She seems to stumble through some of the Rpms...

    Car is legal and I officially drove it further than the end of the block. I have 3 things I gotta deal with. 1. My throttle cable is getting hung up and keeping throttle high ( for sure the cable) 2. Parking brake cable needs a few more zip ties to clear rear tires . 3. Rear end has a...

    Took a spin around the block to start checking drivability. So far so good, just some exhaust rattles and something is rubbing one of the tires. Feels good to have a whole car again. Gonna pound out the detail stuff and get her on the road
