I turned mine into a barricade to keep people off my new driveway. It's orange, so that works, right?

Changed the oil this morning and noticed that the power steering reservoir is loose on the fender. Before I just tighten the bolt up, I'd like to see a picture of it properly mounted. There is only one bolt attaching it to the fender, but it has two nuts welded to it. I'm thinking it's not mounted in the right place. GM wouldn't use a bracket like that and not have two bolts in it, methinks.

doing some simple wire rerouting as inspired by Lucky Costa of Mobile Tech Lucky. this is where I run the red and purple wires from the starter right into the hole in the firewall right by the starter instead of dragging them across to the bulk head connector, and I do the same for the brown alternator wire and the pink ignition wire run them through another hole in the firewall and into the cab, makes the engine bay look so much cleaner

I love it, dont love the circumstances of why it was replaced. But hey, that's what we pay for insurance for. |

The only time I made a "blacksmith repair" was on a Sunday, when one of my friend's (drunk) dad drove over a long series of pylons on the freeway and trashed the shifting mechanism and valve body on his Nova. He brought it to me, and I managed to use a punch, hammer and files to get the parts back together so that it would shift from the lever inside the car again. I gave him a list of the parts that needed replacing, but I don't know what he ever did with it. The required parts and an explanation of why they were needed was clearly spelled out on the work order. He may have been my friend, but it protected all of us when the terms were completely spelled out. |

Today was a milestone, I can start building the truck. Had the frame, cross members, A/C brackets and some other powder coated for the first run. $1150, and well worth it, better than new.
Dropped the axle off for the once over too. They're setting me up with a 1-piece shaft. Guess I better order some suspension huh? Going deep into the pocket this month :lol: |
Bodge Repairs
@Steeveedee :
I say 'dang previous owner but it's essentially the same thing..... easily 1/2 of the repairs I did as a Journeyman mechanic involved some sort of first un - doing some ill considered bodge repair . You're right the person doing halffast repairs is legally liable but proving who made the mess is difficult . I mostly worked on older vehicles during my long career so I got to see more bad repairs and patches than do most . OTOH, I learned a lot about field repairs at the same time....... |
