[T3] Some Spark but no Fire (was RE: Update with a Bowl Full of Rust Flakes)

[Adriel Rowley]

Arney, thank you for the advice.  Helps a lot, as wondered what folks were saying about being organized.  

I have to get the Squareback running before dawn on Wednesday otherwise family is considering junking it.  So, right now all that matters is getting it running even if I do not have turn signals, brake lights, high beam, or horn.  That is how it has been on the road, exept brake lights was unknown to me.  They will not matter when it is hauled off.  Can we please get this solved?  I am very grateful for you all, especially all the help.  I am missing something and need fresh eyes. ;)


Thank you,
Adriel
