Nothing to Report

That's right. I have nothing to report this week. I took the weekend off for my birthday. Instead I went to Disneyland and rode a Segway. Then I spent the rest of the weekend playing video games and just generally lounging around. I did get some parts though. A latch plate for the armrest. So that I can repair that this coming weekend. As well as a guide so that it doesn't really shake a whole lot. But with this week comes some general ideas of what must be done to get the car on the road. This means a list of coarse. Keep in mind this is what I feel needs to be done, not necessarily the actual needs, the car will tell me that later.

So without further ado, here they are:

• Tires (They are in bad shape from sitting for 8 years)
• Test the compression (So I can find out what is cracked and repair that)
• Seat belts (They were removed because they no longer retracted)
• Steering Wheel (No way am i driving with a bare metal wheel)
• Hoses (fuel, oil, brake and so forth, it's been sitting for a while, best to replace)
• Re-attach the seats (Remember we removed them to get the carpets clean)
• Seat Cover (Its temporary until I can get a new interior)
• Fix the bonnet latch (yep, something isn't allowing it to open without crawling under the car)
• Clean the fuel tank (you know to ensure there are no rust particles in there)

So, the most expensive item on that list currently are the tires, however that will be the last thing I do as far as getting the car road ready. Since I want the engine to run first. These next few weeks will be critical I think. There are still tools that I will need to purchase as well. But those will come with time.
