Son of Crypt Car-Update?

Update requested!!

What new Pedro-ized messes has Julian discovered that will
torment him and bust his $$$ wallet even more? It's been
over a week I was away, so I know from experience Pedro
visited Julian and laid some more bad on Julian's Son of Crypt Car.

Re: Son of Crypt Car-Update?

Nah Pedro has been keeping busy in my part of the woods this week!
one rear brake cylinder
one damaged brake line
Above two problems = I need new brake pads & shoes!
Plus still trying to sort out the mess caused by welding the door hinges to the body. The drivers side was welded in several locations and I am having a hard time getting at them with my angle grinder.

One the plus side I did actually drive 14km today and make it home. Furtherest (and only self powered trip) the car has gone in 2 years. Of course since the registration sticker says "2005" on it I was kind of avoiding police!

Re: Son of Crypt Car-Update?

Well, I'm not sure it counts, but on removing the indicator stalk switch I found snipped wires in the cowl ... a pair of which are for an overdrive switch. This explains the other unattached wires behind the dash (and also why the car has an "OVERDRIVE" emblem on the back ... even though there is no overdive fitted).

Pedro must be like Santa. Gets around. Think I blew
a head gasket. Just after paint. Didn't even post the
finished pics. Not to mention, I just received my
long-awaited Koni shocks via UPS.

The devil is very upset after being exorcised from Crypty's body in PR. It is now free to jump from one car to another until it finds another happy owner to terrorize.
