fixed it #3
horray! more stuff has been fixed!
took out the stuff for the horn to fix it... found out my old horn was not working, so i went ahead and replaced it, though im not sure why the old one didnt work.. anyways, i replaced it and so sound was coming from my horn, YAY!
new problem, the sound wont stop
well, i took apart the horn on steering wheel and found that it was put back together wrong, or my fix made it seem that way. the bolts going through the horn thing had a seal in the middle to prevent contact, but nothing on the back side preventing metal on metal. so i cut out a piece of cardboard and put it under the bolt and reattached. YAY! sound is now optional!!
previous problem: car came with 4 red lenses in back..
i went ahead and bought some fog lights. drilled 4 small holes, spliced some wires, and YAY!!! reverse lights that i can actually use!! (sadly that one was one of my best "feeling" projects in a while.
previous "problem" high blod pressure (oil pressure)
fix: i changed my oil..... thats actually just sad. i changed it and took about 3 hours putting oil back in because it had to seep in so slowly.. i added some z-max as well. well, pressure was at roughly 78, which i can assume was horrible!!!!!! anyways, it is changed now with a new filter of course and the pressure has come down to 45-50. sounds MUCH better to me. i actually wasnt sure if that would fix it, but hey, ill take what i can get!
i know there are those of you that have gotten in to frame offs and havent seen the light of day in a few years.. but hopefully the small things sstill give you goose bumps! if not...... i take the car of your hands, for a small fee of course

it was awesome!! till the wife said knock it off, in a rather abrupt voice. the horn thing i knew was bubba, but im not gonna drive to autozone for a 10c paper gasket.. it was rather thin cardboard, from my new oil filter box :P
i also had to wire brush the metal parts for the horn to contact right... so i was rather elated!
