The weekend in review
So here is my weekend:
Saturday morning I woke up at 6 and was out to get my car started to drive to elsinore to work on it. I had already loaded it up so all I needed to do was get it started. I couldn’t get it started. I call AAA and wait for the tow truck guy to show. He comes and helps me get the car push started and I drive down to Elsinore. As soon as I get there it is already 9:30 and I was hoping to be there around 8:00. I also then realized that my dad’s supra is still in the garage. I help him bleed the breaks and push the car out into the driveway.
Once my car is in the garage the first thing I do is go to jack it up and put it on jack stands. I cannot find any good place to jack it up in the front and I pick a spot that looks like a brace. Turns out it was more of a cover and I bent it. 
 No time to complain cause I am getting a really late start. David shows up and we tear into the rear breaks. We take off the rotors and calipers and then start trying to figure out where all of the bushings go. We figure out a couple of them and get started on taking off control arms to get to where the bushings are. Once David is working on the rear I went to the front to replace the sway bar bushings up front. While up front I figured out where a couple more bushings go and we get almost everything taken apart. We head out to lunch and go to rent the tool to remove the bushings. Autozone doesn’t have the tool so we go to Kregan. They don’t have the exact tool but they have something that should work.
We get back and I start looking at taking out the bushings while Dave takes off the exhaust to get to the starter. My dad helps get out the first couple of bushings and I put in the new ones. David has the starter off by this time so we put in the new one and he wires up the new cable. First try, the car starts (and without exhaust). That is great news! As long as I can put everything back together I can drive it. Dave works on putting the exhaust back on and I go to put some of the front back together. I find where the last of the bushings go and now we just need to get all the old ones out.
I try to take out the bushings in the rear but cannot get the tool to push them out. I ask my dad for help and he gives up on the tool pretty quick. He grabs his torch and starts burning out the bushings. I don’t know what I think of this at first but within 5 minutes the first bushing is out. I get back to work on the front (taking off the control arm and doing the steering bushings).
The rest of the night was basically just bushings being burned out, putting on rear breaks with Dave and then everyone had to leave and I finished up the front. I got it all back together and the tires put on. At this point I am more dirty than I think I have ever been so I had to change and take a shower. As soon as I straighten up the garage and put away most of the tools I start my drive home. On my way home I notice a lot of play in the steering and some bad noises coming from the front. I am really to tired to do anything about it so I just drive slowly.
It was about 9:30 when I was driving and I hadn’t eaten dinner and neither had Beth. I get Jack in the box and go home.
By the time I get home I am so tired I just want to eat and sleep. Luckily Beth wanted to do the same because she was cleaning like a mad-woman in my absence.
Sunday we went to church and then out to lunch. Barney’s is the resturant (a.k.a. The only place in town) we went to and I have still not been disapointed by that place. Great food! On our drive home the inlaws called and were waiting at our door. We get home and play games pretty much for the rest of the night. It was lots of fun and even though I did not get to rest I am still glad I was able to get so much done.
Tonight I will drive down to Elsinore again and have dinner with my sister because it is her birthday!
This is probably the longest post ever but it was also the longest weekend. I might be able to update some more things after I recoup but don’t expect much for the next couple of days.
