Figures...
What a week...
Decided to reinstall a dash cap and ended up taking out the dash, rewiring the console, fixing the seat mounts, repairing rust on the floor, washing seat covers, put in an amp and on and on. The console just wouldn't play ball electrically, and I spent the whole day with my head under the dash or in Hayne's diagrams. I finally ended up soldering up a new ground harness for the console and putting that in. Hey presto everything worked! Then I flipped the pawl in the e-brake handle (after taking it all out and fixing it) by yanking up too hard, found I couldn't put the summer tires on (bald), stripped the passenger seat mount nuts (mounted driver's seat bolts throught the floor) and found the underside of my battery tray in bad shape. Then I dropped an expensive graphic EQ and delay unit loading up for a gig, breaking both. And then the capper... I dropped my Haynes manual in the bath!

Does it sink or does it float?

you weren't trying to read up on how to grease your ball joints, were you?

hah! Balls joints are self-lubricating...
Haynes floats but you've only got so much time to get it out of the water before it gets saturated. I suppose water was the last thing in line to hit it - oil, coolant, fuel, grease, dirt...and now my bathwater. Bummer, 'cause I had planned to have a good soak while learning all about wiring! Alex, maybe that was a sign. My dog pisses on my car every morning. It's like part of his ritual. Will he ride in it? Only shaking and drooling...
