Over the last 2 Weeks
Well, some of you have read about my "power steering" problem last week that turned out to be a Broken Motor mount and the brake squeel tab on the passenger side front wheel...heres ths pictures along /w other stuff for your viewing pleasure
ok well weekend before last started off with the car getting her bath...
hey something is missing....
eww bubble butt
before picture:
eww that was nasty...several things got under tht spoiler that i would not have guessed :?
then monday I found out the motor mount was broken and i needed new brake pads and turned rotors , teusday i removed the old, wednesday i installed the new:
car on jack stands engine on jack
broken mount:
new mount - $34
then its the brakes turn...
brake removal ..."GET OFF....COME ON YOU!......GAH!"
old rotors were too far gone to be turned.... so we got new ones
new brake rotors - $0.00, new pads $0.00 (dad knows the guy at Napa really well)
installed:
^Notice the Ford Blue^
It was also Homecoming Week for us at school, and i really really wanted the car done for thursday so i could decorate, and definatly by saturday for the dance, cuz i would have been stuck with the F-150, which is cool 'n all but not the same effect as my Bonnie, and by some miracle it all came together in time:
Glass Chalk stuff....worked fine...washed off easy enough, but its a pain in the hand to rub off....
Class of 2007
Lafayette High!
Go Rams!
