Well, that esculated. I completed the tidy up of my electric window harness and put it all back in the car with a few other little things seeing a tidy up whilst I was there... As I had put everything back together I ran my hand down the back end of the left plastic that covers the ecu and it felt wet.... On closer inspection it smelt sweet and there was green love juice on my carpet.... You bastard! The heater core has a leak! So, being a good sport I put on some music and sipped a few beers and ripped in... The dash is now completly out down to the main support beam, the wiring under the dash that isn't terribly desirable is in the process of being tidied up and the heater core is out of the car with a lovely visable crack on one of the inlet pipes... That's ok though, I love cars 😂 Once this jerk is back together with a new heater core and some tidy wires I might drive it again and start working on the other box of crap that loves next to it... Carry on! #toyota #corolla #ae95 #wagon #carib #retronicsgarage

If I say "car" the head tilt is off the charts! 🐕 #jacko #toyota #corolla #ae95 #wagon #carib #retronicsgarage

In all the time I've owned cars, played with radios and stuff, I've never owned anything Alpine... #alpine #car #stereo #radio #ice #kebabs #prologic #sublogic #garlicsauce

*Diaclaimer* these are some rough pictures... For the last couple of weeks of totally lost motovation with my garage and its projects. It's something that just happens, stuff gets in the way and then you look at the two main vehicles I tinker with and both have things that need to be done before I hit the road again and all you want to actually do is turn the key and have a crack... Don't get me wrong they aren't big things but when combined is a good couple of days out in the box to get them back to the tarmac. A few good people have given me the fuel to get back into it and I can say that I'm definitely on the mend. To make it happen I wrote a bible sized list of all of the crap I dislike about the two cars and in general just stuff I want to achieve and I've actioned it. The wagon is always the car closer to being driven so I have decided to rip out the dash plastics and correct some wiring I did nearly 7 years ago. This is the power window harness that was grafted into the wagon well before I had much of an idea of what wiring even was! I even drove the car to work without windows in it at one point 🤣 This is the starting point and I'm looking to sort out as much as a I can to make my brain work when wanting to flick the key. Next on the list is the exhaust and suspension on this car amongst an absolute bible on the AE82 with the direction to get them both permanently out of the shed and prevent the trophy status. If you need motovation flick me a line and we can have a chat... Hopefully we can help each other... Stay tuned for lots of shitty old wiring photos and lots of improvements.
