New year and new time to do

 ...something to the El Camino, which has been sitting all alone in the garage for a quite while now. I had a couple weeks off from the work and I had some video shootings to do with my friends YouTube channel, and that gave me a boost to do something with my El Camino and shoot some videos too.

So, I did buy used driveshaft from other side of the country and I might fit or not, but it is close. And like so many car show videos, several months later... I haven't even unwrapped it and test fitted does it fit or not.

Oh and I have bought all kind of sh...stuff and clogged my garage, so I had to do a bit of clean up and presto! There is now room to do shi... stuff.

And finally I bought a new starter motor. Now that garage is mainly clear and warm, I can start doing stuff. 

Happy and joyful new years to you all!

Spring was just around

...the corner and now it is almost fall. I had a pretty busy spring and summer and haven't got nothing to do with the El Camino. Well, I did manage to swap those two tires that kept depleting to those two from the "original" set that didn't deplete, so I now have a mix set of 5th gen wheels on the front and those "cool" steel wheels from the 70's in the back. 

Oh, yeah, I did manage to take out the starter and it seems to be dead. 

And one reason why it didn't do anything when turning the key was that this white wire should have connected to the starter.

Electric hardware

I have been thinking about this a quite a lot. Since I need to do something to with electric wiring, should I upgrade my wiring and fuse box right now or later. 

I mean I am not doing ground up restoration right now, I just need to make things work so that I can get my El Camino on the road.

Now it might take a while to get to that point that I can drive my El Camino, because there is so much to do and I lack the inspiration to do anything, but this might be just about right time to order one of these  options and install them when needed.
