What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[CadillacLuke24]

Nice!

 

Stared sadly at mine. Got in a fender bender Saturday, now she isn't driveable. I can fix it, just maddening that this happened so close to graduation.

 

Sigh.

Looking great!

Amazing how so many don't take the time to keep their vehicles nice.

[SnakeEyeSS]

Nice what did you get it for?

$4350, over book but I think with all the new/upgrade it was a decent deal.

Nice - all the difficult and expensive stuff seems to be done already, aside from the rear main.

 

Our '86 Grand Marquis has been leaking there for the past 13 years of ownership. We just buy oil by the 5 gallon pail.

Going to Jack it way up and try to clean the undercarriage. Also troubleshoot a singalbthat won't light up(hope its a bulb, might be a socket)

[SnakeEyeSS]

Hey guys, think it's the socket?

thatll clean up easy lol

 

Ditch the steering wheel cover too

[Jsdirt]

Wow, got a little hot there, aye? Chernobyl socket ...

[SnakeEyeSS]

The guy put it on because that GM high quality soft rubber rim started to disintegrate. Think I'll just get one of those wheelskins. Had one on my BMW and they look good.

 

I replaced it, it will light up, but it still won't blink. Google results on Camaro sites say next step is a new relay, another common problem.

Flasher fixed it. I bought the last socket so have to wait until they restock or run by other stores until I find another. They all work, for now, but I want a spare. The other front socket wasn't far behind. I think it has been replaced before also.

 

What's wierd is Amazon says they have it but the pic is way off. But that seems to be common with them and auto parts so might try another if I can't find one locally(cheaper at local stores than amazon).

[CadillacLuke24]

Dayum, that socket got warmish!

 

Glad you got it fixed. Nice wheels too

[Jsdirt]

Going to go for a ride tonight in the 700 RWHP monster Camaro.

 

[SnakeEyeSS]

Got an after pic, did a NanoSkin(love it!) and Colinite 845

 

 

 

Going in Monday to the shop for a rear seal(double checking that is the problem tonight)

[SnakeEyeSS]

Guess this confirms the rear main? (I AM asking)

Okay guys I cleaned it all up underneath(not super clean but removed all the freshish oil, the super old stuff will need a chisel) and it looked like this:

 

Then....

A few minutes later:

[SnakeEyeSS]

Leak is much worse since it's been jacked up and more oil toward the back
