Pulled sending unit . Was a touch crusty  

It did cleaned up well and look here. 

Fill up at the gas station and bonus of getting some 110 to mix some 2 smoke and it works. 

Put the marker lights in. 

Gonna take it up to my mom's tomarrow, see if we over heat or have any issues.

Got tires of hearing it rub. New 615k+ are on.

2in shorter tire should help with the rubbing and looks. 

Much less wheel spin and no rubbing. Win win in my book.

Took the side skirts off to start on body work. 

Tires off omni went on some crabs so I could take off the snows on tabbie.

Went to take the bikes on a little trip, hook them up behind iris car, cluster quit working and smelled like burning electronic. Check this out.

So did that capacitor leak first? Pretty simple fix if so.

Looks like a hisser more than a snap, crackle, pop.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

Unsure. Either way I have a stack of clusters to replace burned up one. 

In reply to GCrites80s :

All I got was smell.

Omni had a couple injectors hanging open when setting for a while. Cleaned a spare set I had, and installed and seems to be better. 

Cleaning the old ones when I get some time and curious to see what happens.

Welcome to clutch issue central in the fb. 

Clutch pedal got soft and went to the floor. Got it home and looked at it and the slave cylinder was pissing brake fluid. Replaced it drove 30miles or so and master is leaking now. It's one of those weeks. The master is almost new also.

Say hello to the $300 sable. 

"Runs and drives" and have been taking care of this car for a few years now. 

Purchased from the better half's friend. I personally put in a trans, fuel pump, starter, front and rear brakes, battery, did oil changes and some various odds and ends the last 4-5 years.

It was coming back from the Dirty Myrtle and got a flat (she is the queen of corded dry rotted tires) and then pulling into town it started to shift hard and lights dimmed. Went to drive it next day and wouldn't start. Has been setting a while, like 5-6mo. So she told me come get it for $300. It jumped started and didn't make a noise, verified isn't charging. 

 

Current list is rebuild the alternator, windshield, tires, deep clean inside and out. After thoes see where we are. 

 ​​​​​​​

Rebuilt alternator on plus a oil change. 

Charging, has some fuel and ice cold ac. Sat there for 4 hours and charged good the whole time and never got warm. 

 

Played omni floor repair man this weekend. Didn't get as many photos as I would like but here we go. 

Beginning. A couple small holes. 

Cleaned up, old metals cut out, new in. 

Seam sealer after and then painted top and undercoated bottom. 

Also had to use some flowable silicone to fix a cowel leak it developed.

Were the Funyuns still good? I like those.

In reply to GCrites80s :

They weren't. Was also full of a felony forest. 

The ol sable got some new tires. Citytraxx Landspiders. 

Drove it to run some errands and washed it while I was out. Needs a decent detail and should look quite good. Waiting on glass also.
