What did you do to your 2002 today !

[7502]

Stopped by the local NAPA to buy some car wash solution so I could wash my car in the weak sunshine we have today,  As I got into the car to leave a couple guys working on a MB Sprinter van said "Dude that's sick" . That made me laugh.

Spent much of the evening putting the engine back together, nice to see the new exhaust and intake/carb in place finally. So happy to have this grand project to work on during total isolation.

And before one of you gets a chance to call me out on it I do see that I need to switch the spark leads at the distributor to 1-3-4-2 counterclockwise

Yesterday I drove my favorite car on a most important mission...God bless the good folks at Costco.  Uncrowded roads were a treat, too, especially through downtown Seattle where a 3-series and 5-series decided to give chase and play.  Time now to hunker down, although I know which car the grocery-getter will be for a while.  Stay safe out there/in there.

 

Found out why there has been a mass run on toilet paper....when somebody sneezes, everybody within 15 feet s**t their pants

If you don't want ray_ ask you about your new CV boots in month or two you should replace those clamps with this;

Today I replaced my 4 position interval-wiper switch that arrived yesterday all the way from Germany. The old one was on it's last legs and really only operated on the interval setting. PO had apparently attempted a fix. Maybe I can see about fixing one day when all other projects are completed.  Of course, after putting it all back together the turn signals were not cancelling and the switch got hung up so I had to take the wheel off to fix the cancelling ring position.  All good now, had to take the steering wheel off one more time to recenter 1 spline over. Now officially back in business.

 

Old switch "repaired" by PO:
