Re: What I have been up to.................progress finally
Progress is good. I opened the door on my blazer yesterday, was greeted with a million spider webs. I still have duct tape holding the smog pump from turning.... My dog didnt even want to get inside of it....
Is that bondo type filler on the firewall going to not shrink or crack after time? |
