Good way to plug up a heater core as well... Might want to find the real leak and fix it properly next time.

Window switch broke last night... and it had to be the drivers side "UP" function that broke. $20 for a junkyard one.

$20 for a junkyard window switch!?!?!? GEEZUS!

I am picking my car up from the shop today or tomorrow from having the second passenger side axle in 2 years installed. I need to learn to do this myself...

Yeah, and that was the cheap junkyard. But none of the junkyards have ANY 91+ switches, all had them taken off and bought...which is weird.

Damn, how are they screwing that up? Not torquing it right?

I seem to like to destroy axles. That or it's the shoddy work of some jackass at the reman factory.

I have a reman axle with maybe 10k miles on it that's shot that I bought in March of this year. Reman garbage!

Bump.

Just bought the missing vent cover for my GTU (NOS) for $12 from Ebay, also got a set of NOS GTU stickers/decals for $10 shipped!

$28 total, not bad.

If anyone wants the link to the NOS GTU decals let me know and i'll get it from my ebay history and post it.

Now I can shut the door without having to lift it up.

Changed my valve cover gasket (front) the other day..

Not bad at all for 180k miles! Didn't touch a thing, just took the valve cover off to do the gasket.

I replaced the passenger side axel on my 1990 Beretta Indy.
205,000 miles, It only went bad because the rubber boot cracked.
Driver side one is still just fine. I also replaced the passenger side lower ball joint because I had it apart, I figure it was worth it.
I also cleaned up the interior and still have to clean up the exterior. I still have to put the yellow engine hood back on it.
I plan to put the car up for sale some time soon. I have to many cars.

I washed it in preparation for shuffling it into the "Garage Mahal" for some brake work/wheel swapping.
