My Indy is GOD
Frosch suffered a massive death due to idiot owner who made the wire
harness go up in smoke. Indy got the car last week and had to order
the harness from the Fatherland. Black Forest Elves grabbed
Rumplestiltskin and have him weave the thing for Mercedes.
I got a call late this afternoon that he needs the lift for other
work. He pushed through today and got her back running well. Sort of
fried more than we had thought. I had the alternator from Gump that
got rebuilt, so he installed that. It has not that same pin out
location as what was destroyed in Frosch. We had to get a new battery
as well. A few toasted wires not in the harness need attention. Temp
gauge is pegged, so that wire needs attention. Cooked some of the vac
lines, and I will need to chase that down. Tach used to be pegged out,
but now does not register.
Indy told me he had to quit chasing gremlins, or he would needlessly
rack up a huge bill. As it was, idiot tax was only $1200. I am going
to reduce my under hood wrenching to less destructive tasks. Hood pad,
fluid and filters, spiffing up the engine bay. Real wrenching will get
sent to the shop. Dang thermostat should have been a $100 task,
including parts. I had the same poor performance wrenching with Gump,
and ended up paying $1k's to remedy the stupidity I subjected her to.
Clutch, water pump, brakes, starter and alternator, oil pump, valves.
That darn Gump was dirt cheap to get, but rectifying the screw ups I
subjected her to cost me thousands .
I have a few days to wash and wax to get her ready for the local show
and shine this weekend
