Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
GTS dude, yeah I read that one as well and was a little worried about it. ALl the car has is the cardboard/masonite firewall for the back seat, and the battery is in a plastic box intended for battery use, not battery storage (so the connections still hook up).
Right now I'm dealing with more fun Big-O stuff. After getting my car back this time i did not drive it at night. I did tonight, and the headlights work, but the dash lights and tail lights are non-op. The marker lights on the side and parking lights are also non-op. The turn signal works, but all the lights are blacked out unless it's flashing for the turn signal.
This marks another system they've tampered with that they weren't supposed to. First time i got it back the left turn signal is broken, second time, brake lights wouldn't go off - on all the time, third time, all lights gone.
I was in a parking lot trying to figure it out. I can actually climb under my dash and see absolutely everything under there (really) and I see that the fuse for the dash lights, and the fuse for the R P lights (assuming Rear and parking lights?) is blown. I tried jumping them just to get home, the lead sparked, but the circuit was still dead. I'm assuming it's still grounded out wherever it is on the resistance or after fuse side of the circuit. The wire arced real bright which to me usually means it hit a good ground. Now i have to figure out what the ****. This is rediculous. I want my money back so bad, but every time they insist on fixing it and like an idiot I let them. I'm too nice I guess.
$325 to fix TWO blown up brake cylinders, and what i get is a car that pulls to the right, brakes lock up on that side easily, no tail lights, no left turn signal, no dash lights, no parking lights, a grounded circuit i now have to find, a broken brake light switch, ugly looking master cylinder, and god knows what else they touched that will fall apart. I drive it every day and I don't break ****, they have it a couple hours, and break everything.
I'm never ever taking my car to a mechanic again, I only did it because the brakes blew out and the pedal wouldn't stop the car and they were the closest I could roll to. Next time I just blow through every red light, since i can't stop and ram it right into the wall to stop when I get home, at least I know all the lights will still ****ing work.
