Since Kanata505 doesn’t seem to have all the time to post on Oppo, I’ll post our recent misadventures with the Five-Oh over the past week or maybe more.

and yes, I’m pretty much his car’s hostage at this point, I’m getting all covered in its filth, parts are also rare.

- Fixed grabby brakes (slides were seized, sanded down and smoothened out once removed)

- Disabled power steering due to massive leak (developed over the past week or so), until leak is sorted. Had to deal with a posse of 15 year old chainsmokers during the ordeal.

- Car is now plated (has a Subaru and Ken Block reference on the same plate.)

- Flaky electronics 75% sorted (I dunno)

- Oil leak coming from passenger side, oil coating on underbelly. left a stain on the work spot various times.

- Greased steering rack, and almost lost pinion valve and accompanying parts. Crucial to usability of steering.

- Lots of onlookers while we work. “Sick whip” was a quote that stood out.

- Degreased under the hood

There’s also a lot more he did without me, which I cannot list.

I’m finishing the edits on a shoot I did a couple weeks ago, and will be up soon.

Now I want to hear the power steering and chainsmokers story.

In a nutshell, those were the type of people that kept saying something is wrong with the car and that the oil should be changed because of the drips underneath

No shit. Oil was changed 2 weeks ago, and what do the jack stands under the car mean? They hung around for 2 hours thinking they’re cool to sit on a power box.

Lord I hate those kind of onlookers. You would think that I was safe from it since my project car is in my parents’s garage (they have a big 3-car garage, I have a barely one car garage) but there is an old guy (even older than me) who lives a couple of houses down who always invites himself over when I’m working on it. The last time I was inside the car welding and he still tried to talk to me. When I wouldn’t respond he settled for my dad. Ugh.

Most actually were people that were nostalgic, and whose parents had one back in the day.

but yes, the teenage posse was a nuisance.

It’s the same with the old guy. He wanders over there to regale us with stories of the cars he’s had and cars in general. I wouldn’t have any issues with shooting the shit with him but I only get one day a week to work on it and I just don’t have the time if I want to actually get shit done. That’s the problem with kibitzers, they interfere with progress.
