well the good news is the car is insured and taged, drove it about 2 miles today with no problem
bad news is went to take her for a spin tonight to check the temps on the rad, and the little bit of smoke that came out from something with the headlights the other day. turned in to a glow from under the dash and every wire from the head light switch and dash board are toasted. i might be able to save 5 wires, the wires going to the headlight switch are burnt for 1.5 inches, there is nothing but copper and soot left. the wires going to the gauges are also melted. i dont know how far the carnage goes in to the main harness, but i can tell the some wires going in to the harness are melted, so i would assume that they at least melted in to a few more wires i will post carnage pics at a later date so dont post the pic smily because i am not in a very good mood, i might send you a ticking package |

Damn (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Damn (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Damn (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Damn (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Did you check the alternator output before the fire? Just a thought. If'n you get it fixed you might want to take it on a short road trip to test it out,like maybe to Richmond..........

Check the "Cleveland Sawzall Party" thread. Maybe you can get that harness. Patching what you have would be a PITA!!!!

And for that I MIGHT tell you where the secret 914 chalice is hidden, so that it may be passed on to my heir. I do ask that you smash my ring upon my destruction, lock yourself and the other Scott's in a 914 while you vote on my replacement, and upon a decision you will fire up the 914 with an exhaust vent through the roof to notify the rest of the community that a decision has been reached. My mortal remains may be put on display only after embalming (Cabo Wabo) 2 bottles to pickle)

Scott: I can help with the burden of the loom at this end of the journey, but at that end I'm of no use.
