No pictures for what I did today. I started out today by taking my door apart to find out why my doors won't lock and unlock from the out side. First I thought that it was the latching mechanism in the door but after I got it out I found out that the piece of plastic that I thought was broken was actually good. So I put it back in the door and put every thing back together. After taking with my dad he suggested that I take the lock it self out and see what it looked like. So I looked at it and found that one of the pieces in the lock was catching on something, Some WD40 and about 45 seconds later the lock was working perfectly! Next I went after why there is a loud BANG when the passenger door is opened all the way. I found that the slide that lets the door open about a foot and a half and not close was not even being held in with any bolts. I found a bolt that went in and presto it didn't got BANG when I opened the door all the way. Then I decided to find out where this odd green wire that is in my trunk and in the passenger compartment we to. From what I could see it was taped in to the power for the trunk light and ran in to passenger compartment, so I started taking pieces of interior out and found that it went under the dash and ended. Based off of that I knew that the car had an alarm at one point in time. *Snip**Snip* no more green wire and no more random box for the nonexistent alarm. When I was under the dash I found that the top of the clutch peddle assembly had a bolt missing and was only being held in by the two blots going through the fire wall. A lot and I mean A LOT! of swearing later I had the clutch peddle assembly out and put in the missing bolt and now my peddle feels much better and it sits up a little higher now. Before the whole assembly was flexing before the peddle was even pushing in on the clutch master cylinder. Then I noticed that the latch to open the hood was out of its bracket. So I pulled the knee panel and put it back where it was meant to go. So now I am missing some interior fasteners because I used them on things that had nothing holding them together. And tomorrow I will see about getting a battery hold down and see if I cant find out how much its going to cost me to have a rock chip on my windshield repaired and how much a locksmith would charge to make it so the key that I have will work with the lock on the trunk.
