Sounds like many of my adventures with my car. I can relate.
Thanks for that one.

 

Here are 2 really good places to learn about fixing certain things on certain cars.
You must type in the names on You Tube to get the videos.

# 1, eric the car guy...
# 2, 1Aauto dot com...

Both of these 2 video hookups on You Tube are excellent to learn from. There are others I know of, but these 2 will be enuff for you to digest.

Go get um tiger...the world of Fixin em up awaits you on You Tube

I know this is a kinda old thread but i don't come on here very often. i can get more specific answers for my car on CB7Tuner.com

I got my start from my mom. growing up we were always going to car shows and my dad always fixed our cars (though many times it took a lot to get him out there to do it because even though my mom and dad both were mechanics in the Army, he didn't think she knew what she was talking about when something went wrong) Once my mom and dad decided mutually it was time for him to get out of the house, my mom picked up the repairs using manuals and required my brother and me to be there to help. even if all we could do was pass tools and read the manual. the first time i fixed my car completely by myself, i was 19. My car wouldn't start and so i asked my mom what could be wrong. turned out to be the starter and my mom wouldn't have time until like Thursday or Friday. I got impatient and did it myself about Wednesday. only had to have help with one bolt that i couldn't get loose. I asked my brother to help me break it loose. That was when i decided i wanted to learn more about working on cars. I went to my local community college and enrolled in the Automotive Technology program. the only one who graduated in an invite only society. I had a 4.0 up until close to the end when i had started to slack off but it didn't drop much. i think it was like a 3.67 or something. I worked at Jiffy Lube for a few months and then a the Honda dealership for a year and two days before being let go because i wasn't being "productive enough" when that was bull$hit. i worked my @$$ off for him and all he did was play games with my head.

 

And I thank you for posting it.
I see you started your own business and I would bet that your doing okay at it. Good picture you took of your car JM

I'm trying to start my own business but it's not working out so far. Thanks. i like that picture too. I hope to have some more pictures taken soon once i have scouted out some nice spots. I am going to be trying to gain a spot in the CB7Tuner calendar that gets put together every year. once i have scouted spots, i will wash and wax her and then try to get some good high quality pictures.
