drat

Today I did the unthinkable and I went to put the last piece on the S10 to make it drivable. I went to install the electric fan and realign the hood. In order to do this all I needed to pull off the old fan and fabricate some simple mounting brackets. Then bolt on the fan and build a basic positive relay, figure out how to make a tempeture controlled trigger switch (kinda hoping someone makes the tempeture switch, and I can just buy it cuz otherwise I don’t have a clew) then just go see if I can figure out how to kill some tires.
Here is what happened. I noticed that the fan would come out easer if I used my air ratchet. I had to pull off the fan shroud to do this. When the shroud was off I looked at the rad hose and noticed that it was old and could use replacing. So I pulled it off. Then I looked at the lower hose and saw that it was way bad so I pulled it off. This freed up the rad to be pulled out. So I did. Then off came the fan. Now this was the time when most people would have bought the hoses and installed the new fan. I am not the type of person who would do that. No I am the type of person who would then pull off the water pump, all the accessories, and then began to dream what would be cool and before you know it I have picked out an intake manifold, new cam shaft, high flow water pump, sized out the biggest fan that will fit as well as began the search for a nitrous oxide kit. Also I picked out a cowl hood to give me room for a taller intake. This could have been a $25.00 fix but now it will cost many more dollars than that! This is ok cuz cars are cool. So now I will have more tell you about even though Chris and Terra think this is a totall waste of time. All I am saying is they still collect stickers!
