Hard-Copy Journal for 20 June, 2013

I pulled off the carburetor from my Opel this morning.  I also removed the battery and found my old clutch cable.  I'll be bringing each of these over to Michael's tomorrow morning.  Following are the goals for tomorrow:
  • Install carburetor
  • Finish stripping major components of interior
  • Remove rear trim piece and take picture to be able to sell it
  • See if I can get e-brake to function
  • Make Michael happy by getting the lights to flip
  • (Maybe) Try to get car to run with carb.  I kinda want to wait until we're both there for that though.
  • Above ^ Fist need to install fuel pump if Michael hasn't already done so.
Also received text from Michael indicating that he bought a new fuel pump.  I don't know if he actually has it or if it's being shipped.  I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Also, I found out that I'm missing my 13mm wrench from my tool set.  That is essential for the Opel.  I'm also missing my 10mm socket for the 1/4" ratchet.  Again, essential.  I'll have to replace those, probably next month.  I should also buy a super cheap set of metric wrenches that I can brake in half to get to the hard to reach areas of the engine bay.
