    You must learn to stop parking directly under trees and telephone wires all of the time. I didn't tell anyone how I incrementally drilled the hole larger, then smoothed the rough edge with a Dremel grinder, then carefully notched it, followed with a little touch up paint.

    • Today, I finally got around to changing my taillight gaskets.

            I would put a Fordfestiva.com decal on one of my Festivas but the one that I won in the "value of the coins in the jar" contest a few year ago still hasn't shown up.

              • Yesterday, I changed out the alternator on my blue BP swapped car. It wasn't nearly as much of a pain as I thought it would be, just have to do almost everything from under the car. I finally got to drive to work this morning with no charge light after ignoring it for months. I also fix the rear brake adjuster that had fallen apart in the drum so I have an E-brake again. I just need to put some new front brakes on and it'll be ready for the trip down to Ohio on the 30th.

                • Yesterday I cleaned my seats extensively with a Bissell carpet cleaner. They turned out pretty nice. Judging by the dirtiness of the water, they hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a loooong time.

                  • My "what have you done" started yesterday. I left Lavonia at 5:30am and met Shadetree at the junction of I-77 and I-81 in Virginia at approx 11:00. I swapped cars with him and picked up my silver 90L which now has a B6D in it. It ran good on my 300 mile trip back home. Today, I had my new 165-55-14 Federal Tires installed, had the front end aligned and a new quieter muffler installed. Once home, I replaced my non working auto belt track on the drivers side, only to find that my spare didn't work.
                    Still working on a seat belt solution for it. Next week, lowering the suspension to match my new tires.

                    Thank you Shadetree for another job well done!!

                    • The seatbelt module might have a bad relay or connection. With the belt still connected, probe for power at the motor

                        • Replaced the tie rod end on the driver's side. My plan is to replace the inner sometime in the next few days, because I didn't have the tool for it today.

                          • Changed the oil, spark plugs, and started stripping/refinishing the parts for my sliding rag top/fun top install. Hopefully get it installed this weekend.

                            • I'm quite sure we found out whats causing my 55+ mph front end vibration.....its a worn out rack....its a reman'd one thats been in there for less than a year....nice work.
                              So thats what I did yesterday. I've been chasing this for a long time, so finally we thinks this will fix it.
