brake fluid is low.

[Navarone]

Thanks! Is there a clutch fluid reservoir? I don't remember seeing one.

[Rev Run D]

The clutch fluid reservoir is the same as the brake fluid reservoir.

sup local! did you get all your leaks sorted out?
could be a trunk seal too. I'm going through this on my 89 vert too. pain in the butt with all the rain. gaskets are new so there's a few other things I gotta check...

[Navarone]

Yeah it was just the tail light gaskets, haven't found any new leaks yet, but it still seems a little swampy. I don't think it's dried out yet from the storm.

[Navarone]

Hrm, there's still condensation inside the trunk lid but I can't find where any water is leaking in. Next fix is probably antenna. I have someone asking to look at the car Friday. Hopefully he doesn't flake.

Installed new alternator bushings and a new seal for the washer pump!

Wow, doesn't look too hot.


The old bushings melted or devulcanized and were a pain to get cleaned up.


The casing was all gouged out from running so long with bad bushings.


Got the new ones in, and had to squeeze them to get the clips on.


Put one of the sleeves in backwards, good thing I double checked before installing in the car!

I serviced the K&N and installed a new fuel filter, both were filthy! Car is a little more peppy and doesn't bog around 3k+. We'll see how it acts when cold. Might not be much different.

Sadly when I popped the top hose off the fuel filter there was still pressure and it blasted me right in the eyes. Lost a set of contact lenses :(

[Navarone]

Finally built a battery tie down! And decided not to sell the car.

[Navarone]

Got some cup holders started.

[Navarone]

Stupid tapatalk.

[ArtFoodBMW]

Interested to see how the cup holders turn out!

[KIRIEIW]

^Wow what a mess cutting! Interested to see the final product.

[ak-]

That is the final product.

I might get those actual cup thick plastic solo cups and glue them in, but I'll probably end up using ABS pipe. The solo cups might not be big enough, I routinely get kidney busters of iced tea and need jumbo cup holders.

^Wow what a mess cutting! Interested to see the final product.

Yeah, the largest hole saw wasn't large enough. Had to do a lot of grinding.

That is the final product.

Haha, I ran out of duct tape and bubble gum, so it's only half done.
