What did you do to your car today?

[BKBridges]

Sunday actually.. Removed the giant lump of cast iron that used to be a Jetaway transmission from the 62 caddy and tore it apart. As usual there is always a reason (or two) as to why something has been sitting for a looong time. The input shaft was broken in half... Now for a new core.

Well I'm working on some of the things we found on it's shake down cruise to Oregon. Replaced the temp guage, replaced thermostate, and did some trouble shooting on the cruise control, haven't found the problem yet but more of the same tomorrow.

Went to check on the progress on the trans in my wagon. Still no progress from a month ago. This time I got a LOT of attitude from them. Thinking it might be time to contact the BBB. I was told they'd contact me later today. If word by Monday morning I will take alternative action. Eight weeks is too long for a warranty repair.

VW decided to "improve" sound levels ..........too bad they also created a moisture trap in the process. This one hadn't rotted in the c-pillar behind the quarter glass or beside the rear glass yet, so I dug around for 3 hours last night with a long skinny rod to make sure it never does.

And poochy-mutt helped, in between alerting me to the pair of fox that was visiting.

Well, worked on the mazda and found the transmission leak.


The actual banjo bolt that goes into the transmission rotted and is dripping out. Due to that, the pan is rotted out also. I have to call the dealer and get the banjo bolt and pipe monday.

Moved the Chevy II out of the shop while I'm painting the car trailer.

Moved the Chevy II out of the shop while I'm painting the car trailer.

...to match the color of the car or the hauler?

[squirrel]

No, I painted it trailer color. White. It was getting pretty shabby, sitting outside since the 1980s.

[68scott385]

Hmmm, nearly all car trailers in this area are black, not that it matters, but when you said trailer color I automatically went black, until I read the next word.

[squirrel]

Black doesn't work so well around here, too much sun.

[Deaf Bob]

See black mostly, see some white nd various colors between.. I am checking my trailer as the right front on the derby car broke a board.. Guess all are getting replaced...

[68scott385]

Black doesn't work so well around here, too much sun.

I figured that was the reason. I know how hot my black truck gets here on a nice July / August afternoon, I can only imagine how hot a black trailer would get in southern Arizona.

[squirrel]

...although my trailer is from Oklahoma, originally, and it has always been white.
