LOL I’ve come really close to being that guy once or twice. You got to know when to hold, know when to fold-uh...

lol. I am living that life. Took the dash out of my car to fix the heater core. Then my wife got sick. Have not looked at the car in a week. Not really sure where I left off and right now the car looks like Border Patrol searched it for blow. Ugh.

This is exactly what’s wrong with the Niva now.

I ordered a new transmission because I was down to 2.5/5 gears, back in April. It arrive in May. In June I parked it because the brakes went from sketchy to jam-it-in-first-and-pray. July finally saw the new trans go in, and I took it for a very short test drive because I forgot about the brakes thing. I had new parts already (since January when I ordered a whole whack of stuff because I needed a throttle body gasket and screw paying $20 to ship a $5 gasket) only the rusty rear brakes lines disintegrated when touched with a wrench so July saw new brake lines get ordered, only I couldn’t get them bled so I ordered a new master cylinder and some T’s because putting the new lines into 20 year old low-grade aluminum didn’t work so well. So early august saw those go in. Then I went to change the oil except the drain plug was absolutely hammered into the pan and stripped out (previous owner’s fault, I’d been changing the oil by sucking it out the dipstick tube until then) so I tried to pull it out but damaged the pan in the process, so I ordered a new one. Once it got here in late September I discovered I actually had to pull the engine out to change it, so I did that in late October/early November, only in putting it back I caught the release bearing retainer spring things on the back of the engine bay and broke them, so I ordered a new clutch. That showed up miraculously two weeks after I ordered it, so I put that back in. But then when trying to put the engine back in again I discovered I’d buggered the motor mounts so those got ordered and despite leaving Ukraine in late November and getting to Canada the first week of December, somehow didn’t find themselves to me until a week ago. And now it’s been -1,000,000 outside and the garage I’m working in is barely an out-of-the-wind corner with a concrete floor, so I haven’t been super motivated to put it all back together yet. Hopefully soon.
