    Default Working on the car...Tech Day maybe

    Gonna be working on the car Thursday late afternoon/night and all Friday, kind of a short notice tech day I guess, if anyone feels like swinging by to lend a hand or do something to their car.

    Plan on replacing brake pads, alignment bolts, fixing parking brake, installing the FM frame rails and hopefully my new steering wheel if the hub adapter comes in and if I get the resistor.

    PM if ya wanna come by.

    Will your Mom be there?
    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.

    Oh geez!

    Well, got the steering wheel figured out (broken wire in clockspring), since that took sooo long and I'm still trying to fix the parking brake to pass inspection the frame rails are gonna have to wait.

    Well, I had to replace a rear caliper a few months ago and when I got around to adjusting the parking brake nothing worked. I looked under the car briefly and the equalizer thing from the handle that splits into the 2 caliper cables was pulled all the way to one side, so I'm thinking a broken cable maybe? I'll have to give it a look tomorrow cause I gotta go ref hockey games in a bit.

    Ran out of time today getting parts and getting ready for school next week so looks like I'll be doing the Frame Rails next Friday.
