Get Started!

So, Cj got right to business this morning ripping out old disgusting carpet and just sussing out the "situation." He was really nervous about the extent of the rust - but he was pretty surprised that it was not as bad as he thought. So, there it is, a starting point! PHASE 1 - stop the rust. Then, move on to the mechanical part. Thankfully, the previous owners weren't scared to throw down some cash to keep the car in pretty good mechanical shape, so according to Colin he doesn't think this portion of our "little project" will be so bad. My perspective? When he kept muttering "somethings loose" and then urrrrrghhhh - I got a little nervous. Then I got a lot nervous when he scratched his head and said, "Annie - get a pen. We're making a little list of what we'll need right off the bat." Ok - ready! I started sweating early into our little dictation session - Kragen Auto Parts - look out for this man! He is coming for: front brake calipers, lower and inner control arm bushings, sway bar end link and bushings, front struts, lower ball joints, front wheel bearing seals, rear shocks, rear wheel cylinders, rear sway bar end link bushings, rear sway bar bushings, front sway bar bushings, a temperature gauge sending unit, exhaust hangers, fuel filters, air filter oil filters, fuses, oil, headlight and heater hose. Then he looked at me, and said "what??? it's the labor that costs money honey, not this stuff." Uh, yeah. I will check back on that one tomorrow. I feel an internal budget meeting coming on.
