Glad to see it get some attention again

[Gemini2003]

.... I keep finding things to clean and sort grrr but i can see the light :-)

First thing on the agenda is make the car road legal again of course... I stopped driving it because I failed to yield and a cop pulled me over. Gave me a warning but made up for it by also giving me a Box 1 inspection. I found a list of requirements online and have to check off one by one.

Can anyone from BC verify this is the right inspection?

I know I will need to replace my windshield... not a fun job in the cold of pick-n-pull however it's a quick $300 in savings grabbing a windshield from the wrecker and doing it yourself.

Bonus: I found two rolls of windshield removal wire when cleaning up my tons of crap :-)

That looks like the inspection I had to have done for OOP in BC. Is it really $300 out there to have a windshield put in? that's crazy expensive.

[Gemini2003]

Well.. the wind shield itself is going to be a couple hundred bucks plus the install...

[Dr_Snooz]

Don't you have one of those businesses that sits right next to the wrecking yard? When you go for a windshield, they run into the yard to grab it. I've gotten windshields for super cheap that way.

[Gemini2003]

I'm definitely going to the year to grab one I called the glass shop today and they said 500 bucks.



So I just saftied my car myself:

I found a piece of fiberglass and got inspired while I Was fixing one of my doors...

I really really want to make fiberglass door panels... Not too hard hey?




of course this was a quick mock up too see how I could hang it from the top of the door frame but I think I could do something that would be really neat :-)

[Gemini2003]

Had a good day :-)

Driver seat installed :-)

More mock up for the door panel done :-)





Awesome find for $20 at the junkyard

Methinks you will have a hard time with that inspection sheet when you hand it over to the ICBC agent. Assuming this is an out of province, pre registration inspection, you will need to take it to somewhere like Canadian Tire, fork over $120 (or whatever it is now) and have them go through it. If it is an already registered vehicle and the officer is sending you in for a VI, my guess is the officer feels your car is an unsafe vehicle. Get it fixed and inspected properly.

Last windshield I changed was $100 (depends on how you have your insurance set up. In Manitoba I paid zero dollars for windshields).

[Gemini2003]

Haha no no I wasn't trying to pass it myself i wanted to know what I needed to fix before bringing it in lol

Got some much needed TLC done today

[Gemini2003]

Windshield re-installed :-)

Next up: get horn and heater working
