Last summer I promised my cousin, Mallory, that when (or if) I got a project car she could come help me out. So I invited her down to help me out with the car.
The project I asked her to work on was the taillights. The right taillight was out so I wanted her to replace the bulb.

Unfortunately after changing the bulb nothing changed. After that I asked her to look in the repair book to see if she could diagnose the problem.

 She tells me that the diagram looks simple enough but the wiring on the car is so backwards that we could not solve this problem.

While my cousin was working on the electrical components, I decided that I would try to clean the engine compartment a bit. I think it turned out pretty well but I know that more work is needed. A can of engine degreaser can really do some work.
