Keeping on the road.

Wow. It has been a long time since last post. To fill the cap, here's the re-cap from last post:

Power steering, working. Driver's side door latch from inside stopped working, made quick fix. Fuel gauge working. Passanger side exhaust leaking. Installed roof insulation/noise cancelling. 50 k on odometer. Flat tire. Bought new set of tires on a 15" steel wheels. New battery, melted (-)-pole. Installed old battery. Starter broken, starter fixed from three different starter. Installed H4 lamps. Drived 1303 miles in 12 days on summer vacation. Fixed leaking vacuum hose. Finded whole inside lamp assembly from a swap. Quick fixed squeeky hood noises. Burnt AC/heater fan switch. Bought new AC/heater fan switch.

So, there has been something fixing going on but few new things come up to light. Well, everyone knows that old car is a working progress.

Cheers!

Starter broken?

Well, About two months ago we had a problem with a starter and problem was that when I started her up, starter wouldn't stop, even if I turn ignition off and took keys off. Starter still turned the engine. Only thing that I could do was to disconnect battery + terminal. Then I did try it again and she would start up nice and easy. But then we went to a mall and when we get back from the shops, she wouldn't start up at all. So I had to call a towing service. And I have to say that service was excellent and even the cheapest one, from half a dozen that I called through. So, What have I done to her, to make her roar the streets again? Sadly, nothing. I guess little troubles affect me such that I get depressed about it. Last year when she broke her water pump, it took me whole two weeks to change it, after I had the replacement part. Now it has been almost two months... and it's almost time to put her on her winter hibernation too...

Facebook

So, I have made a Facebook page for Kelly, my El Camino. And after yesterday we had over 25 people that likes it and that let's me have a username for it. Sadly all the obvious were taken, but I managed to get this: Camino70, which is easy to remember and to write. I think with the ease of use it will be main source to updating what's going on and so on. Although I prefer use and layout of this blogging.

Currently El Camino is sitting on the garage and waiting for a new starter motor, since I had a problem with it a week ago and yesterday it broke down finally.
