Well, Friday was the start of an interesting weekend.
After picking up the VX from the alignment shop & driving it around a little, we noticed a significant drip of tranny fluid on the ground when I was putting on a healthy coating of Back to Black. Back to the collision shop! It was just the lines at the radiator so he trimmed the lines & installed new clamps. No more leak. I was able to schlep some black RTV in the gap caused by the fender trimming so that I don't have a gaping hole anymore (I had never done that since the previous accident). I'll have to apply another coat before it's done though.
The front tire rubs more at full lock. I'm not going to worry about that though until I get the HD torsion bars in a few weeks.
We didn't leave for Philly till about 7:30PM. Hit lotsa rain (maybe a little snow mixed in) but that wasn't the problem. The problem was the wind. I was getting blown all over the place. I'll have to try to adjust the replacement steering box to try to tighten it up.
Then came Saturday. Sick puppy. She had some kind of infection that caused her glucose to crash & was on the verge of siezures. Spent the majority of the day at the vet & still had to take her to the animal hospital where she spent the night. She's now hydrated & her glucose levels are up (& white cell count down & red cell count up). She's on 2 meds now & acting like a puppy again. Now the only thing anemic is our bank account.
No rain for the drive home but the wind was even more worser this time. 3 hours of white knuckle driving and we made it home all safe & sound.
If the weather cooperates on Friday, I'll put the new shocks on & try to adjust out some of the worm gear backlash on the steering box.
EDIT: Oh Yeah, before we left for Philly I also installed the passenger side window regulator that I got from Buffy. Worked PERFECTLY.
