Car Woes II I shouldn't say "woes" because I actually took the step to have the damn thing worked on. This past weekend we took it down to a mechanic that had previously done some work for my dad. They went in a replaced a couple of seals in the Manifold and the Main Bearing (If I remember correctly.. I'm not certain). The good news is that it doesn't leak oil like it used to. The bad news? You guessed it, that hole in my pocket where nearly 400 dollars used to live. Having decided to keep the car, I've focused the past few days working on other aspects of it. I spent nearly the entirety of Monday out polishing the paint to what might be considered "a dull shine". Yesterday afternoon I went after the wheels with some cleaner and shined them up all nice and clean. Today, I took a few minutes to try and scrub a few stains out of the seats. Whether I was successful remains to be seen. I also managed to buff out a little paint smudge on the front bumper. I still have some waxing that needs to be done. I'll do that once my shoulders stop aching. For now though, at least the car seems in better health. We can keep our finger's crossed. It still smokes a little but that, I hope, comes from oil still stuck to the underside of the car from before. I pulled out the blown speaker in the dash and I'll be on the lookout for a replacement. For now I can tolerate not having a dash speaker on the driver's side. It still has one in the door. I'm cautious, I still expect it to self destruct any day now. If there was a god of transmissions, I would be down on my knees right now. |
