I just bought new hoses for my throttle body heater, mine's pissing all over the place. This makes me wish instead of doing that I just blocked off the whole thing. I think even living in UT I still wouldn't need the heater. meh, whatyagonnado?

Good news! I drove it to work and parked it next to this super rad m-teched out vert. Way nicer than mine.

Bad news, its blew a coolant hose and pooped coolant all over the parking lot.

My front window motors are dead so I am attempting to convert them to crank.

Upon taking my window out, I realized one of the mounts were broken. I guess the only way to fix this is to replace the window. Im way too cheap for that.

Broken bracket


Cut and bent a little piece of metal that fit snug.


Drilled some holes in it so the JB Weld can get enough grip. (I ended up welding the screws to the little bracket because the JB Weld kept breaking.)



My first attempt at making my windows crank. (Not successful)

The little metal piece inside the window motor. I drilled it out and tapped it so a long bolt could thread into it. Then used red Loctite to keep it in forever. (didn't work)


Notched a bolt to thread on for the crank.


"Finished product"

Took it out for a drive and decided to take it to the car wash. Massive amounts of smoke were coming from under the hood so I pulled over and this is what I found.



I replaced the radiator with a Behr and filled it only to find that the water pump was leaking from the weep hole. The new water pump will be here Saturday. These fucking M20 cooling systems are so simple but yet such a pain in the ass.
