Aug 22, 2010 update on dollraves's 1988 Mazda 323 GTX ($2010 Challenge)

Taking a brake...

update image

Today, I got to reinstall the clutch cylinders, brake master cylinder and brake booster. Clutches are easier than I thought! Brake cylinder/booster though? That is pure punishment. I don’t know what I did to the Universe, but boy-howdy have I done my penance.

Today’s setback was the radiator - new (non-GTX) car buddy Alan was drilling out the busted fan mount screws and accidently slipped into the bottom radiator tank. If it’s not repaired by the time we’re ready to get the car running, I’ll just swap it for the one out of the running GTX, which won’t need to run once this car does. :D Alan felt genuinely bad; I assured him he wasn’t the first to break something on the car. I’m equally certain he won’t be the last. :D

Alan totally made up for it by getting the rear struts done. :D


Dear Universe:

May I never, ever do anything so unkind that you make me do a brake job again. I promise to be the Best Doll EVER if you will see clear to letting me get the second brake line threaded into the brake master cylinder.

PROMISE!

Smoochies, The Doll
