What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Ok...so new races/bearings in the rotors, newly rebuilt calipers, new brake lines, hoses, hardware, etc....everything new or recently reconditioned. So, I have everything all mounted back to the car. Tied in all the new brake lines/hoses and everything looked great and ready to go. I'm thinking; "bleeding this should be a piece of cake except maybe for a minor leak or two, if any". I get my wife to come out to help me commence with bleeding the system. Purged the master cylinder and tied it on into the system, but no pressure and very little flow with the pedal dropping all the way to the floor no matter how many, or how hard, it's pumped...WTF!!!!! Arrrrrrhhhhhhh!!!!!! Talk about a love/hate relationship....LOL....I was feeling "it" today. Started troubleshooting from the pedal onward but immediately suspected & found the master cylinder to be shot....a brand new one too, not rebuilt. Fortunately, I had a spare one on the shelf for my other car, a Swinger, but it was pretty old and really not the right one, or the one I want to use, on this Sport. But it appeared to be clean and in fairly decent shape both inside & out, making it at least worth a try since it's over 35 miles one way to the parts store for me. So I purged it and quickly swapped em out....Viola!! Had pressure and finally a decent pedal which is fine for now as I'll only be rolling it around the shop as the build continues. Needless to say, I don't trust that old MC that's on there now, but at least it's working...for now. So before she rolls under her own power, I'll be changing it out again with another new correct one that I'll get when I return this failed POS that didn't work for me today. Nothing quite like the fun & games of bathing in DOT3...LOL. I guess we've all been there, done that.
