Went out to the garage and stared at it. Can't put it back together until I get the oil filter plate thing... so frustrating. :cry:

Ignore the haters, you had frame damage, what else could you do? Banging out the frame won't work (the atomic bonds in the metal are weakened, no banging out that mess) best to just get rid of the mess and start anew, in other words, cut off the scrap and tube frame it. "Blasphemous" tube framing is better than junking that poor rolla. That's what counts :D

I drove it to work... But she didn't want me to work today and decided that I should stand 3 blocks from work waiting for a flat bed tow truck in the blistering heat... Guess I should take the Corolla out more often. :'(

I finally connected my vacuum advance. Hopefully this weekend I will swap my brake booster and get rid of the horrible stalling to a stop.

Posted this on my build log too, got the idea from 4ag archives. Grabbed a distribution block off a bmw in the junkyard and cleaned up my battery connections some. the previous owner had hackjob'd it to run an optima battery, i kept the battery and did a cleaner hack job lol.

Image

nicer and much safer than the previous "ditribution block":

Found out that a couple of my metal lines were not moving freely for the cold and hot settings on ac panel. Used some pb blaster and liquid wrench to free up the heater valve and lines. Found broken plastic pieces behind ac panel. Used superglue and baking soda for a cheap fix (got the idea from guy on youtube). Found a paper clip to compensate for missing plastic piece that broke. Just waiting for new ac panel face plate (found one with ac cutout finally), led light, and ac control knobs (broke them while taking them off).

More random things that i can do for little to no cost. :) Got an elbow from the junk yard and mocked up these intake pieces. Now i just need to find a filter that will fit (and/ or a different elbow to have more space for the filter) and make a hanger to stabilize things. just keeping busy while i save money for the "real" upgrades.
