Slept in after a long evening.  Found that the boy woke up before me and was already out playing in the car. I knew he was dying to go for another ride.  So I went out to give it a jump start.  Figured out why the battery wasn't holding a charge.  It was crunched into the squished quarter panel.  I'm sure that it's cracked and at least one cell was dead.  

We gave it a jump and my wife came out for a ride.  She asked if she could drive instead and take the boy with her.  So off they went.  Up and down our road.  I'm sure the neighbors weren't enjoying it since it was running a straight exhaust.  Once we parked it, my daughter came out and said she wanted a ride.  So another jump and off they went.  I took it for a couple laps finally myself before parking it.

Spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the garage and handing drywall.  I wanted to get the car inside today.  One way or another.  We were successful.

Well there was a half an hour left before the boy's bedtime, so we decided we'd start taking her apart.  Took off the hood first.  Then popped the front turn lamps.  From there I worked on the wiper system while the boy started on a fender.  We were starting to have some fun before my wife came out to send him off to bed.

   

It's a busy week and we have our winter camporee this weekend.  So we will likely not be able to touch it again until next week.  I know it will drive us both crazy.
