DONE !...


Good plan Dub, to wait a bit before messing with the bonnet! Growing up in Pittsburgh, one month in my last semester of college it was in the - teens for about 3 weeks. Had a '77 Celica, hood opened from the windshield side, & had to shoot ether into the carb each morning to get it started to get to college. One morning during "finals week" doing that when it was like -19, one of the hood hinges just broke off...frozen metal just sheared off...so just closed it up, drove on as I had to take those finals. Luckily the hood closed the way it did so it couldn't fly up while driving. Brrrrrr!

Another morning that week, the door wouldn't latch after I got in, the latchy thing was frozen and wouldn't engage. Had to crank the heat to high, drive around a parking lot hanging onto the door handle until the cabin warmed the door enough to latch....Brrrrrr!...

OK, definitely confirmed my decision to move to Calif after graduation!
Yah sure, you betcher boots doncha know...

My door hinges are making a horrendous noise, but it's just too cold to do much about it.
