What Did You Do With Your Tbird Today?

[JohnA]

Replaced the aging and half-failing LED bulbs in my "supplemental parking lights" with fresh LEDs.
These are wired to be on as DRLs whenever the car is on.
I also replaced the headlight bulbs with Philips Crystalvision Platinum "whiter" halogens. Not as white as LED, but not jarringly yellow either.

Nice wagon Robert. I also had a '75. Dark maroon and no side trim. Took out the 4 cylinder and replaced it with a v6 automatic. I enjoyed driving it also, but it was a first car for my 16 year old son.

Detailed the tbird yesterday (minus new wax) the sand top cleaned up really well this year. I was a bit worried as it had several more black fold lines, but they all came out. It definitely doesn’t look like new, but for almost 20 yrs old - not bad. This morning going in for an oil change. Next a new coat of wax and it’ll be ready to go. Need to think up a road trip.

Picked up a cabin air filter today and changed that out, might be time to get it out for a little run around town this evening.

Rebuilt the power window motor in the driver’s door of my’75. Working like a charm now.

I long for the day I could repair 90% of my car's ills with a screw driver and a pair of pliers.
Give me back my 1973 Pinto so I can drive it more than repair it. Four-speed, of course.

Magically delicious?

Sprinkle 1/2 cup over the 'Bird once a week to resolve or prevent any malfunctions. Also, eat 1/2 cup once a week to avoid doing stupid things.
'Works for me!

I’ve been using mine as a daily driver for the past few days. The AC has gone out in my Chrysler. I’ll look into fixing it tomorrow. Getting lots of thumbs up from people as I drive it around.

The local glass guy who replaced my windshield a while back just installed new 'chrome' reveal moldings around the windshield for me. The side moldings have finally failed enough that I went for a new full set. They must attach using an 11/32" deep socket because I found one on the floor of the car when I got home.

On the weekend, I installed the new trunk struts that I bought off of Amazon.
Inexpensive and easy to install. No more trunk lid dropping on my head!

Took the 'bird to the doctor today. I've been having a problem with a parasitic draw in the electrical system somewhere. Can't seem to find it on my ownsome, so it has gone to the auto-electric shop for a few days. Hopefully the right wizard there can exorcize the demon.

Let us all know what they find. There are others who have similar symptoms.

Gave mine a bird bath. Getting ready for tomorrow’s ice cream social in the Lehigh Valley.
