    Default Making an old Girl feel young again...



    well my dad and i have not done any mods yet or actual building but she has become much stronger and more reliable, hopefully i remembered ot all.... but the dash now all works and the lights are working all the time now, couple random screws and bolts throughout the dash and interior from dumb ppl that cant keep track of 8 screws... got the rear dome light working.. new light switch as old one was worn and loose.. rewired the stereo speakers so they sound better and work better... onto the outside.. put the correct bulb in the brake light so that works.. new wipers..redid a few wires on the fuel pump(it worked but the wires would prob break on the first trail).. again screws and bolts all over.. got a junkyard aircleaner since the old one had holes cut in the metal sides for some reason.. changed out the 3 blade fan for a 5 blade fan..new cap and rotor and wires and plugs (one of the wire was 3/4 burned through as it layed on the manifold) cleaned the crap out of the throttle body.. new motor oil and filter..... thats about all so far now to check the rest of the oils and seals and to change the body lift for a suspension lift

    Whew! I was half expecting either a nasty comment or an inquiry from a 41 year old asking how!

    Robert, I spent the first year owning my Rover doing nothing but making it more reliable. It is just as important as modifications.

    so i guess that doesnt mean you refer to your cars as girls very often Chris...... and i agree Stephanie 41 is not old......IT'S ******* (usa govt sensored for being rude) and yes Brad that should only be the case for another week or 2 hopefully (anyone have a chunk of truck bed they dont need so i can fix a hole in the floor??)

    Ironically I own 2 1/2 vehicles that are older than myself as well as 3 dirtbikes and a snowcat. Suddenly I feel all young again.

    Haha, that one cracks me up Rob. Although I think a lot of people on here these days are too new to get that reference.

    Yeah, still it brought back some memories. My "invisible robot fish" line is a tribute to the zany boy.

    He was known for incredibly random post and things said. I think he was here a month or two and broke the a thousand posts in no time.
