Arriving home!

I had the car transported since it was a non-runner, it was delivered on a huge transporter right to our doorstep! What service.Here’s my girls trying to figure out which one is our new car…

I was able to pull it up the hill into the garage without problem, prior to it arriving I had installed a 1/2" anchor bolt in the garage floor and bought a hand winch to pull the car up our steep driveway. I had one kid in the driver’s seat covering the brake, and the other in the passenger seat ready to yank up the e-brake on a moments notice! They took their jobs VERY seriously. Alas, there was no drama, it just pulled right up and in.

I fooled around with it for a little while, mostly making a wiring diagram and trying to figure out how everything was wired up. I also pulled the hood off, but that was the extent of my actual ‘work’ tonight. Most of the components have to come out in order to pull the motor (and replace the component shelf that was broken when the motor jacked up) so I want to make sure I’ve got a good complete wiring diagram before moving forward. Here’s a few ‘before’ pics of it nice and snug in the garage.
