Got my ACC floor mats today. Did a quick vacuum then installed them. They look perfect, now just waiting on door panels still!
What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

I had to stop into Mosteller Auto Repair today. They've got the Malibu up on the lift with both the Oil Pan and Mechanical Pump off but the mechanic had to stop right there. Two Mail Trucks and a Utility Truck have to get repaired IE; Essential. The least they could have done was updated me on what was going on, I was very worried. Some time this week hopefully I get the car back so's I can start up paint and body and other needed things.
Even if it is partially done, at least you know that it will be home soon. They may have to take care of the essential vehicle repairs first, but you know that your's will be finished before any other non-essential.
Spent 2 hours getting a gas tank in for mocking up my fuel system. It fought me every second.
90% certain I used every curse word in the English language. Possibly some Russian and Spanish thrown in for good measure.

Nothing. Most of my personally remaining body parts hurt too much to do anything more than let the paint on the P/S pump dry. Can't even watch it while it does! Have the pump pulley down in the basement waiting for some wire wheel love but sleep right now has a higher priority.
As for invective in multiple languages, All three you mentioned are good for cursing and swearing, but be careful with Russian because there are evil phrases in English and Spanish that seem to be the same in Russian but most definitely are not. Need to be careful with Latino/Spanish also 'cause a lot of what they use is pure insult that can easily end in a knife or gunfight. The best part about knowing multiple languages is knowing when some mook is cursing at you,, playing stupid, and then when the dude thinks he's gotten away with it, tuning him up and into his error.

I said F it and I just want to get the car back together so I painted the brackets blue after sandblasting them, after I blasted them I was really not loving the look of them still and that was the reason I got the POR15 but oh well. Hopefully can get the interior buttoned up tonight so that tomorrow I can do the pan gaskets and the steering pump replacement with the mechanic.
Going to be doing the same thing to the Whole Under side of the Malibu when I get it back. . . After the body and paint. Front sits so low that everything underneath the Radiator is surface rusted. Por 15 and Sanding. . . Going to be loads of fun, but I would much rather protect the metal with something.
I took the wheels off the GP to get some new rubber on them. Just when I was about to leave I had a blow out on the right front. The cinder block that corner was sitting on shattered and dropped the car. Lucky I'm on dirt and rotor sunk an inch or 2 into it but it did not puncture the canvas that covers the floor....got the chain saw out and cut some some logs for the GP to sit on...... .
