Default 2 Problems down

Today i got to spend a little time working on the vette, replaced my wiper switch, still did not fix my wipers, i think my park switch may be bad ot the motor itself, replaced the horn relay so i could get it inspected and the big job was totally disassebling the digital dash and ocver hauling it, fixed a bad circuit and replaced all the bulbs-works like new now-all in all an ok day
hope everyone has a good weekend

:D I fixed the fridge :hurray:

And I am proud of myself! Wife announced we were going to buy a new one because of the noise it was making that kept us up all night!

I had kind of ignored the whole situation, the fridge was fine to me...kept the beer cold!

But when she announced that the new one she wanted cost $ 1,200..I sprang into action!

I found the fan moter, oiled the bearing and cleaned the fan blades, got some GOOP and reinstalled the weatherstripping on the doors, bought some new bulbs so that we could actually see what was in the fridge (beer is always on bottom left, so I didn't need a light) and the fridge is good as new!

That's $ 1,200 toward Winter Jam and CI V :D :D

Switched the 165 thermo for the 195 (been cold here in Florida), new dash looks great! Wife says sell the car! Spend more time with it, than her.
Oh Yeah it's great the old SNAFU is back to normal.

P.S. For those in the Nor' East quit sending us your cold weather! :flag :thumbs:
