nuts & bolts...


In cleaning the car today, mostly the inside, we found that the passenger seat was missing a bolt. Talk about an insecure ride. Fortunately it was an easy fix and we were on our way for the day!

There are several accessories we are needing to change, fix or add:
  • We either need to replace the steering wheel or get a cover. We are leaning towards a cover for now, and then replacing the wheel in the future. But the leather is so worn on the left half of the wheel that it's very sticky and it's not something that will clean off.
  • The drivers side mirror needs to be tightened. It wobbles just a bit.
  • The stereo is an old AM/FM Cassette deck. The radio works very well, and we have not tried to play a tape yet. I have a Kenwood CD/AM/FM with removable face from my last car that we are going to put in for now. Down the road we will switch to an iPod compatible deck.
  • Speakers need to be replaced because they don't work but also because they were not installed well. More to come on that one.
  • The gear shift is missing a plate underneath so the heat rises up and you get a rather warm shift!
That's the start of our list! There is plenty more to come and I can't wait to share our progress with you!
