lol Unfortunately the primer held tight. I wish I could figure out whatever it was they used to prime this car. I'd paint all my other cars with it. Even chemical stripper has a hard time eating through it.Quote:

Removed the switch, found there was a contact pad in it, then took a dressing file to it to renew the surface of the switch contact and re-mounted the switch.
The door switch works reliably again.
Brought 1141 home. . . spent a few hours going over everything and starting my "to-do" list.
Have been suffering with old-man's back for about a month which really does deter one from getting into the D.
Celebrated mobility by taking the D to a neighbors house where the 11yo was hosting a BTTF themed birthday party. Honestly surprised at how popular the car was with the little ones, and the dads. Caused quite a snarl up in the subdivision

Got an alignment, finally.
Bought new floormats yesterday, haven't put them in yet though.
Took it to an exhaust shop; hopefully they do a good job.
Tightened the clamps on the anterior coolant pipes. Hopefully that takes care of a mild coolant leak, maybe due to the cooler weather and the shrinkage of the pipe? It's not from the car being in the pool.
