No major failures, but a few minor issues.
The parade was (mostly) a success!
Things I realized:
- After driving there, I realized I'd forgotten to put the front grille back in. So there's lots of pictures of it missing the front grille. Oh well…..
- I think there's a problem with the radiator cap. It's new, but I'm not 100% sure it's right. Does anyone know what radiator cap goes with the black bottle? My other car has the stainless overflow tank, and I thought the caps were the same, but at some point in the parade, it boiled over. I stopped the engine and the route was mostly downhill from there. I let it cool down, and it still had coolant. I filled it up with water and drove it back.
Now it's going to be parked for a while….. then worked on some more :)
Look for photos on flickr/etc soon.
