    More like a keeping it alive log

     



    It was time to give my Ol' Reliable Cavalier work car some love today. I bought it several year ago with 101K from our salvage yard and all that was wrong with it was severe hard water spots. The odometer now reads right at 170k and for the second time since I've owned it, it didn't start for me. The first time was the fuel pump and now the fuel filter was plugged which may or may not be related to me not knowing the fuel cap was missing since the last fill up. I checked it over a bit while it was on my pit and seen just how rusty this thing is getting, not really sure it's safe anymore. Aside from that I fixed up an exhaust hanger and welded my converter flange up cause it was just about ready to split in half. I cleaned out the charcoal gas filter so hopefully it will not fight me putting in gas anymore. Lastly, the only remaining door handle that worked was the drivers door,so I bent a rod around a bit on the passenger door for a bit more push on the latch. Both back doors outside handles are broke on the inside to I'm trying to justify replacing them aslo. Will it make it to 200k?
