Countdown....

I have the hose fixed. It's all tight. Just filled her up with coolant - NO LEAKS! This is good people. I'm letting the battery charge and in abotu 30 minutes i will turn the key for the first time in almost 4 months. Epic will rise again! Wish us luck.

Eh, one of the coolant sensors must be bad. Keeps saying she's low on coolant. No leaks though. No biggy. And damned if that lower a-arm does need replaced. The stearing wheel is cocked to the right at 45 degrees. So that will have to be done. But she runs ****** strong. The idle is kinda rough but i think thats just a fuel system being dirty problem. I'll have that serviced. I just took her around the block (yes, without a nose or hood) and i forgot how low to the ground she is. I guess i've been driving that Astro van for too long. LOL

What the most impressive thing about this is... i'm Mr. Apperance Mod right? I have on many occasions stated that i know nothing about mechanical aspects of our cars (and for th emost part i don't). Ask me what the best set of headers is Where's the fuel filter? How does an amp work?
So i really have truble with the mechanical aspects of this as you can tell but the greatest part of this thing is - i put the A.I.R. pump in, radiator, fans, AC condensor, hoses, wires, coolant, everything other than the frame being worked on - BY MYSELF! My dad helped tear it apart when it happened but I put it together. I'm proud of myself.

Congrats, Grant! On her running and doing it yourself! That's of one of my personal goals, to need Ryan's help less and less. And eventually, hardly ever.
