Finally! Saturday we made a trip to Pick and Pull.
I got:
a bumper
a drivers side sun visor
a window brake light
two dash insturment clusters
a door sensor
a dash trim piece
an ash tray (clean one, too)
a wiper fluid container with the pump
driver and passenger side AC vent
center AC vent
heater/ac controller front panel
a bunch of vw logos
and probably something else that I'm forgetting
Sunday morning I went to church with Karl.
He brought me back to Jason's house where I began working on my car. I put in the rear window brake light and Json helped me put on my recently aquired bumper!! It looks great: Before. After!
Additionally, I fixed the passenger AC vent, straightened the steering wheel, fixed the drivers door sensor, installed the sun visor (no more blind driving), put the new heater/AC face on, and put the new windsheild wiper squirter tank in.
We also fixed the center AC vent on the Silver Golf.
A few problems did come up as I was working, though. I discovered that my water pump is leaking water and anitfreeze! I have to buy a new one and install it...probably by Wednessday... ... I suppose that means I have to do that tonight or tomorrow night. I also discovered that all three of the big rubberband thingies that hold up my exhast and muffler are broken. That explained the loud abnoxious rattling that I couldn't locate.
After all of that work, we (Jared, Jason, Jan and me) took off in pursuit of a 1984 Jetta that was for sale in town. We checked it out, sat around for a minute contemplating it's worth to us, then how much we'd pay for it, until we eventually gave in and offered the man (George) $50. George thought about it reluctantly, but when we told him that we'd pick it up in an hour, he agreed to the sale, though still not eager. I could tell that he didn't really want to get rid of this car, especially for such a low price.
it's a pretty nice vehicle. A charcoal Jetta GLI with a running gas engine. I like the wheels. It doesn't go into gear. It has some sort of fracture in the frame. The car looks like it's been lowered in the pictures because of the tie downs on the trailer:
The front.
The back.
The dash/interior.
The side angle.
After all of that weekend (I didn't even mention Friday), I am here now typing this. It is Monday and I am sick and away from everything relating to school; All my friends are at school... It sucks. It is 2:31 and everyone is getting out of school.
