[QUOTETC1959, post: 504609, member: 5363"]Wiped two good coats of Mothers on the old girl put her in the garage, Hooked up the battery tender and put in the Stabil. It hit 102° and won't cool off again until October. Time to crank up the AC and binge watch everything on Netflix...Welcome to summer in Hell, Err make that Phoenix.[/QUOTE]

according to the trip odometer we put 399 kms on the car today ( 250 ish miles ). Got up drove from home in Brampton took the "long way" ( including some yard sales ) to breakfast in Orangeville, then east to a flea market in Barrie raising funds for Autism. After some shopping headed west to Collingwood to check out a boat launch. From there we took back roads home to Brampton again. WOW what a difference changing just the 6 body mounts made in the reduction of squeaks and rattles on those old back roads. Wifey dislikes the car a little less now :banana:. Next I have to tackle the "smell" she says you get on your clothes when driving the old car ( which I don't notice ).

Just replaced all a arms bushings front and rear, upper and lower..

This means all bushings throughout the entire car has less than 50miles on them still. Changed the body mount bushings last year and havent driven it since. But now is the time. I just have to do brakes before the inspection!
