What did you accomplish today?

[BudmanTX]

I had a 1971 VW Squareback I loved, nice car.

did a tune up to one of those yesterday.....and a oil change...

 

[Singlemalt]

I had a '64 1500S Squareback as my 1st car. Turned into a surfwagon, then I wrecked it. Twin solex carbs, was a great little car. I called it the Squareback Porsche, and drove it as such, hence I wrecked it lol

I HAVE to go grocery shopping today. 80 degrees @ 8:15 headed to 103. Going to try picking up my meds from an automated pickup box so I don't have to sit and wait in line at the pharm. Hoping it goes well.I pulled the ground off my car batt yesterday in hopes the AC just needed to be reset to operate correctly, I will be pleasantly surprised if it works. Mornin.

Fuck points. Get a Pertronix electric conversion kit and throw the points in the glove box as a back up.

I've driven close to two dozen 20+year old cars in my life as daily drivers and there's nothing like modern suspensions, brakes, fuel injection and parts availability for a daily driver. Try finding the parts you need Sunday afternoon to get to work Monday for a pre 1990s anything. With an old car, unless you're willing to go bumper to bumper right when you get it and spend a grand plus to get it reliable(brakes, tune up, fluids and filters, hoses, carb rebuild, tires, steering, shocks, etc) I would just buy a newer $2000 beater to get you on your feet and plan on getting a better cat in a year.

This was my first car.


(in my mind). In reality it looked more like this..



It'd be fun to cruse around in today.

Don’t think I’ll get much done today, at least outside. It’s gonna be 114 degrees today and tomorrow. I do think I’ll run to the store and get the ingredients for a homemade chicken pot pie for a 9 1/2 x 13 casserole dish. My wife would love that after work.

I remember having to choose between a 65 fairlane 2dr and a 78-81? BMW 2002 all wheel drive. Two 5 bill cars, what color?, mostly complete. I mean powered windshild wiperes were technically an option on the bmw I think and the padded dashboard of the 65 was a key safety feature.

The power, the romance of a 3 on the tree with overdrive, bench seats, 289, half moon rear windows baby moon hub caps and whole lotta bare ass in the back end!

I made the wrong choice.

Decided to blue the pistol. Rust blue.

First rust application.

First carding.

Skip to third rust coat.

I'm fixing to boil it now. Most do 6-8 coats of rust for a beautiful finish. I dont think I'll do that many. Its not worth the time. I just need a basic finish to stop rusting. I'll show finished product.

Being sentimental about old cars is expensive.

Groceries purchased and put away. No joy on the AC reset, worth a try I guess. The blend door actuators aren't that expensive, it's just getting to them to replace them. Time to cook up some brunch once my back says it's OK. The meds kiosk worked well, once I found out where it is, major construction going on. It has a fingerprint scanner even.
