Man, I splurged this week! I spent $41.00 on parts!! I got the grip washers and clipped washers for the bumper brackets. Bought them from AMK Products. Oh well, I have a birthday coming up soon and I hope to increase the gift column amount.
I took the oil pressure/water temp gauges out of my instrument cluster and hooked them up to the wiring harness. I ran a seperate ground from the gauges to the dash and the oil pressure gauge worked the first time. I had to remove and reinstall the temp sending unit wireand then the temp gauge worked.
I drove the car around the block two times and the temp needle rose almost to the first line on the gauge. I let the car idle but it never did get hot enough to open the thermostat.
Anyway, I worked one hour and spent $41.00 so here are the new totals.
My Labor @ 380 hrs..........$7,600.00
Parts.............................$7,144.87
Outside Labor..................$6,221.00
Gifts ................................$716.52
Total ...........................$21,682.39
