Adventures in Car Maintenance

It's nearly done - I've almost finished my first solo car project! I managed to source all the needed bits on my own, take apart the broken bits (with help needed only on one extremely tight bolt) and re-assemble it, learning as I went as to what order things go in and why.

I ran out of daylight last night as I was doing the last bracket-fitting. While working, the church youth leader came up and said "that's the most sexy thing I've seen!" - meaning me with my hands full of grease and arms in the engine. The dear chap made my day! If he weren't at least 15 years too young.... :)

So right after work today I make one more trip to the church parking lot, tighten the last of the bolts - and then see if it goes.

I wear my ingrained grease with pride!
