What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Just did a little noodling around today.
- Adjusted the steering column, rotated it left so I could put the car in park, and it would engage park without having to really crank on the shift lever and then only go click click click and let the car roll.
- Rotated the steering wheel to the right by a few teeth because it's been irritatingly turned so one of the arms always blocked my view of the right side instruments when I am driving straight.
-
- Hammered down the rolled pin for the shift lever. It's been sticking up for a while and has been a minor irritant.
-
- Removed the ratty old shoulder harnesses, in preparation for a new set of shoulder harnesses. I am still trying to find the original post that pointed me in this direction. Regarding the copycat thread, I'm copycatting @harrisonm here. I can't find the thread, but he does mention it here.

-
- Removed the disintegrating sun visors.
-
- Fixed the rear view's propensity to flop all about. I am probably going to just get one of those five panel rear view mirrors since the visors are out.
-
- Installed my little USB charger and voltage meter. Going to have to wire it up to the accessory, right there in the picture, it's just plugged into the cig lighter.
-
- Checked the flasher in the emergency flashers plug, the only light that flashes is the front left lamp.
- Checked the passenger courtesy light, the bulb is burnt out. (I am probably just going to redo all the interior lighting with a LOT of white light LEDs when I put in the new wiring kit)
- Secured the fuse block back in place.
- Noticed torn air ducting for defroster, gotta get that paper **** replaced.
- Noticed the fucked up wires in the firewall pass-through block, and some other wiring. (Now I'm REALLY going to have to get the damn jeep running so I can install my Ron Francis XP-777 wiring kit.
Other melted wires in next post.
