Most gratifying repairs 200

Hello,

All of them are satisfying, but this was my most and the most recent. After replacing all of the following - oil pan gasket, new plugs, new wires, new intake and exhaust gasket, a new exhaust from the intake manifold back, getting the rack rebuilt, put back in with new tie rod ends, and new brake rotors and pads on the rear. Turning the key and having Inga fire right up and purr like a piston slapping kitten on the first turn of the key. Yeah that was a cool feeling, and this is board made me sure I could actually do it, and do it right.

The guy who did the alignment on Inga after the rack rebuild came in all serious and said your steering wheel is upside down after the alignment. You are going to have to take that knuckle off and turn it around to get it right side up. I told him not a problem and thanks, but he was very serious and repeated the wheel is on upside down. Told him not to worry I would fix it after I got home. His boss laughed and said for him to ask how I was going to fix it. The kid said are you really going to pull that knuckle off and rotate it. That would work, but I was going to take off the steering wheel and rotate it 180 degrees. His boss laughed an told him that was how you thought out of the box. I was just thinking about how the BB would tell me to fix it.

Regards,

Paul

Now about those TAB's.......
