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.Originally Posted by Chris Burns

Took care of a nagging electrical problem with the passenger door-open switch for the interior and door clearance lamps.
In the past few months the switch seldom closed the circuit when the door opened. I could always get it to go by wiggling the switch plunger after the door opened.
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.

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

found why my newly painted valve cover was leaking fiercely, it seems it didnt set right even with my fancy Loctite sealer.
I also Polished my intake flap as I was sick out how corroded it was. Now i want to remove the whole metering unit for sandblasting and paint

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.
