Yes, core is back. Just not installed. Had too many deadlines, plus Christmas shopping, and life getting in the way to work on it. Drove the car yesterday out to the brewery for a set of gift certificates and froze my butt off! Runs great... but the rebuilt alternator I put in a few months ago doesn't put out enough juice. With the lights on the battery runs down, so I am pulling the new one out yet again, and swapping it for a better one. Hard to find good re-builders these days.
We just want to wish all our new stationwagon friends a merry X-mas and a happy newyear! please rember DONT drink the beers when shifting the gears !
