It's been a while.

Old look.

We had a bit of tragic spring time and I haven't done anything to my El Camino since March. I even haven't been updating my facebook fan page and I got well over 1100 fans! Thank you all for that!

Yesterday I made a purchase that I have been waiting for a bit over year, I think, well at least an year. I'll post later sneak a peak of what I am planning on doing over next winter. I have come to conclusion that I won't be taking El Camino on the road on this year, or maybe for a quick yearly inspection to get it ready for next spring and driving season.

I also ordered for a first time from Rockauto.com for some steering components that I got a mentioned last year when I was at yearly inspection, didn't get rejection, but notice from the inspector that those are soon to be in dire need of replacement.

Oh, and I have also ordered that sliding rear window that I have been talking about on few of latest posts. Should arrive in August. So, I'll have that too to change, among other things.

Sliding rear window part 2

I have posted earlier of an item that is on my wishlist which is a sliding rear window. I have tried to find some pictures about it as installed and I had one kind of in my plain sight. First time I shot this El Camino was back in 10th of the July last year:

And what do you know:

It has that sliding rear window! I didn't remember it until I saw it for sale at FHRA Auction which was held in last weekend at American Car Show 2016.

 

It was sold just bit over 15000 €. Too bad that I didn't have my flash with me so I couldn't any better picture of it than this:

But at least I gotto see it in person and that definately wrapped my head around getting one on my El Camino. Okay, I am running out of time for getting that for this driving season and also I have run out of money too, so it'll have to wait till next winter.

Engine bay dismantle.

Well, I was supposed to clean out engine bay wiring a bit, but as usual I got a bit of sidetracked and started to take off the A/C and valve covers too. Sadly my GoPro run out of battery and didn't catch whole valve cover and windshield wiper motor coming off.
