[T3] Try, Try Again

[Adriel Rowley]

Apparently this message didn't go though, so hopefully this time it does.


I am hopefully done with taking care of family and can get back to getting to living and taking care of my life. Plus, there has been some changes to my classes so hopefully will have weekends available again. It has been too painful to read the List as miss the Squareback.
 
Speaking of which, cleaned her out and turned on the ignition (also accidentally bumped the starter). The Volvo is gone, so need to get the Squareback drivable as secondary transportation. Plus, need to do major A/C work on the Mercedes (condenser got bent, N.L.A., so have to fabricate a parallel flow condenser in). Love to be primary, but with the rust and the sagging rear that is brand new, I don't trust it on the freeway with all those snow birds! I no longer have my living expenses paid for and not finding work, so this is going to be down and dirty get her on the road. What is the plan this semester is drive to the light rail station about five miles away and take take the rail into A.S.U.; far too expensive now that I am on my own! Plus, those students aren't the best drivers and hard on the vehicles parked next to them.
 
So do I need to get new tires because of flat spots? I don't see any crazing on at least two. I do have one that the valve stem went and deflated the tire, wrecking it. Also, I seem to be missing my spare tire. Not sure how that happened! It is frustrating because I have at least a couple tires and at least four type 3 rims at Oma's.
 
Dash lights not on would be wiring, right?
 
Which brings up the next question. What is a good gauge wire to have around? I need to make a harness for the fuel pump and other things, including possibly the Mercedes. Used to have a couple sizes, but apparently ran out and/or lost.
 
I am also going to pick up some Marvel Mystery and soak the rings. Any idea on how long it should sit?
 
I do need to get a new fuel pump as used keep having issues despite being rebuilt. I do have the relay clicks, so feel it shouldn't be astronomically hard to get her back on the road. However, nothing in life is easy or goes as planned! ;p
 
 
Thank you so very much!
