No not aluminum foil, aluminum ducting tape. I stole some from our HVAC contractors.
Well I was going to get some money this fall and was planning on doing quite a bit to the old girl. $8k worth of stuff, finish everything. But for various reasons out of my control that I won't go into here I don't think its happening.
As of now I'm thinking about parking the SDL for all of next year until I can afford to fix what needs to be. The transmission is pretty close to being done and I can't afford to fix it, so I might not have a choice anymore. I lost a quart of ATF this week, and its flaring pretty good. Luckly I have a nice dry heated garage to do that.
