May 28

I decided to get a head start in the morning and get the car ready for the work that'll be done by putting cardboard all underneath the car since I would be using degreaser on the undercarriage. The transmission has been leaking fluid and I wanted to make sure that it had enough fluid.

Today was a special day since I was able to get my friend John to help me out with the auto. When he first arrived I asked to clean the inner fender on the driver's side. I must admit that he did a very good job. But before he could start, he had to take everything on the inner fender off.

Luckily he has long arms, so he literally can reach around both sides of the fender.

Meanwhile I was cleaning the underside of the car. I decided to start from the back and make my way forward. I want to show this picture of the kind of dirt and grease, I had to deal with.

This dirt and grease was very thick, also imagine this all underneath the entire car! I was forced to buy heavy duty degreaser to try to get this off. I was going through the degreaser like candy. I also went through rags and shop towels like it was my job.


After John was finished with the inner fender, I asked him to work on the electrical. As previously mentioned, the rear tail lights don't work properly. Since John is an engineer, I figured he would have an idea about what to do.
