Sheesh who you tellin! I had to get my car buttoned up before my twins came. I don't even have time for myself anymore smh
My twin daughters are almost 3 years old now and life is starting to get a little easier now
My 7 y/o son helps a lot too.
Couple miner updates, no pics yet.
Swapped out the 10+ year old CD player with a newer unit. Sounds much better, sad to see the po had spiced wires instead of getting the proper harness , oh well, maybe I'll fix it all later.
A quick fix, my dome light didn't work on my drivers door. Happy to find it was simply unplugged. Loudest door chime I've ever had. Probably why they unplugged it.
Wire wheeled all the ac hoses and started painting them. Hoping to finish the paint and maybe toss them off this weekend.
Side note, the idle is hanging a little high while slowing . Gonna try to drop it

Found a few parts that should be here this weekend.
A factory overflow with the low coolant sensor
A washer bottle also with the low fluid sensor
A new power mirror switch
All should drop in easy and have a few more of the factory options working.
I installed the Ac lines along with new o rings. Still leaks, guess I'm buying the dye kit. But it blows COLD

The guy I got mine from was kinda wild. Told me it was a real cobra, kept talking about the crap mods like they were God's gift. Tried to tell me I had to run orange coolant. Lots of crazy crap. If I didn't want the car, I wouldn't have kept my cool with him. He kept casually insinuating that I was some kind of crook and that he couldn't trust me, even though I drove 11 hours and brought cash.

2 side notes.
Fixed the ashtray door, now it's a real car.
PUt stop leak in the Ac and so far so good. Frosted over the lines. Not sure if that's bad yet. It's 50 outside and I ran the car for an hour blasting the ac and its like ice in the cabin.

big no no on the stop leak in the AC. IT will gum up the orifice tube and accumulator> better off fixing the leak instead.

Few parts came in. My power mirror switch now functions. I'll have to replace both my mirrors though, unless they are repairable? They just squeal and barely move. My guess is the switch had been broken and years of manual adjustment left the gears shredded.
From factory these would be trim/bumper black right?
