So it was the starter? Cool

Bought the starter

Finally bought the starter about 2 weeks ago and had time to remove the old one and install the new one. I had a rough time(45 minutes on the lower bolt and 2 hours on the upper bolt) but I managed to do it

. A few cut's but after all was done I felt great. Anyway the car started up and all ok now. Next, time to tackle my Radiator and brake problem

man - that's tough - took me about 30 minutes to swap it but the bolts were not rusted up.

Gave the car to my niece this weekend and man! She was one happy HS grad!
