Day 10 was an after work day, so I would have to pick a small task to complete. I had just gotten my shipment from Advance Auto, 20% off, thankyouverymuch, so I was itching to get the shocks swapped out and take the ol girl for a spin… But alas… the ass end is torn apart… No way to take a drive without brake lights, so that would have to be dealt with first.
I have been putting it off so I can find the correct paint color to do minor touch ups around the car and finish off the antenna plug before I put the taillights back in, but no luck. I’m going to have to get the real deal from a paint supplier. That’s the right thing to do anyway, but I was trying to avoid it. I put the incorrectly painted antenna plug back in, it is so much easier with the taillights out and turned my attention to the bulbs and brake lights. These things are quite a bear to get in and out so I didn’t want to have to do this but once. I carefully installed new bulbs and reinstalled the brake lights and followed it up with the reverse lights and the license plate. I replaced the side markers, new bulbs as well, and reinstalled. That was it for tonight.
Parts replaced today:
New bulbs, rear half - $20
Parts cost so far: $870
