mini-get together at allyns place



had Bryson (Lil B 959 <lilb959@hotmail.com>) over for a while today. did some repairs on his car
with him. rebuilt his blower motor (interior blower). it had a brush try to self destruct. lots of
other little fixes here and there. the typical vacuuming the 5 lbs of leaves from the a/c area under
the hood. tried fixing the wiper arms (stripped), but my spares were stripped as well (darn). spent
some time figuring out what the original color was (there is like 4 layers of paint on that car).
some other stuff as well (i made it worth the mcdonalds he bribed... er... brought me). a good plus
out of the whole ordeal was the fact that his vacuum system was untouched, so i mapped out the
vacuum distributor (a/c controls) and where everything went so i can eventually fix the riegers
vacuum servos.
diagnosing and rebuilding a fresh air fan in about 3 hours (not cutting any corners). not bad.
