Well, we’re down again. While at work the car would not start. Thought it was the alternator. We borrowed my Dad’s truck and a tow dolly from a friend and got the car home Saturday night. We worked on replacing the alternator for 4 hours the next day! Finally got it all back together, tried to crank it and nothing. We have power to everything now, but it won’t crank.

The batteries positive lead started getting hot. So we think it is either a short or bad starter. More fun!

I can’t believe I did not post the trouble we had with the clutch recently. It had come to the point where it did not engage properly at all. Over a week or so we eventually replaced the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. It still makes a weird sound when it is cold but it works. We’re expecting to need to replace the clutch soon as well. Yet another fun job on the Project car.
