blue car update: leaky fuel line repaired; leaky exhaust patched.

the last thing on the list before taking the car in for inspection is patching up 2 small holes in the floor (but we all know what "very small" turns into when dealing with rust, don't we?).

the red car has been sitting, waiting for its motor-ectomy. we may end up doing both cars at once.

also, my buddy's father has a bush lot about 25 km from here, and we've decided we're going to hold onto the red car rather than scrap it once we've had our way with it - just in case we end up needing more parts... glass, fenders, whatever. so after the motorectomy, we'll pull it out there and park it.
