    Tried to bleed the brakes, not happening, the MC must be bad, sending no pressure to the rear at all, brake pedal seemed to be binding somehow, wouldn't return to the top of the stroke unless pulled.

    Make sure that you bleed the Mc individually if it is been out of fluid

    took my car to be fine tuned a little day before yesterday. brought it home and it wasnt happy so we had to un tune it. now its running happy again. today I dropped my car off at the transmission shop to get the no park issue fixed. (something to do with the adjustment)

    also pulled the new 4 door comet in the garage to begin the tear down

    Never mind the MC, it's that stupid little section of rubber hose between the body and axel, you know the one that has the vent for the rear coming through it and dual feeds for the rear brakes, well that little POS is plugged up!! ordered a new one but can't get it till Tuesday next week, $35.00 for that blasted hose with the junction.

    Took out the front n back seats... Ripped up the carpet and underlay, seat belts out... Getting ready for my mustang floor pans (gonna have to have tanners article on hand) gotta go to a wedding tomorrow then hopefully I can pop the doors off, get the cage out and start cutting.
    Hopefully I can find some nice mustang sliders around. Damn mustangs are everywhere around here.
    And I made some serious tire smoke outside the shop... I mean a serious cloud... I'm proud.

    Heading to a show and shine at "Crappy" Tire this morning. It should be interesting, as this is the first time the car has really been on display since I got it, other than at work.
