Groll's Baby!!!!

There appears to be a significant voltage drop from the alternator post to the battery. Now I just need to find where the resistance is. I have not crawled under the car yet to clean the connections and check them. I should buy a couple of grounding straps and improve the grounding from the engine to the body at least. Maybe run a new wire from the alternator to the starter too. The alternator is only putting out 12.8 to 13.2 volts so I think that should be replaced in the near future too. I did redo the connector to the back of the alternator. As you can see in the pic, one of the wires is exposed and bare.

Friday evening 5/19/2017 was not a fun evening for me. I was taking tables and chairs to gabby and Martin house to use for their wedding on sat. I exited the highway at 14 mile rd and turned at microcenter to head south. As I turned, a lady in a white 4 door sedan decided to pull across two lanes of traffic and a center turn lane right out in front of me. I hit my brakes and tried stopping, but I was unable to avoid her. Her passenger side front door hit my drivers side front corner. Needless to say this was not what I needed.
She received the ticket, and now I am stuck repairing my baby. Good thing is that I have some spare parts. The other good thing is it was still drivable, so I will be driving it home tonight in order to begin re-assessing the damage and figure out path to get her repaired. No one was hurt in the accident. I am hoping that the frame isn't tweaked. We will find out.

That sucks man, I hate that area, it's designed poorly, I've almost got hit several times from terrible drivers.
Glad no one was hurt and glad it still runs, hopefully the frame is OK.

A lot has happened since i last posted on my baby. A divorce, buying new house, getting married to my awesome wife etc along with purchasing a beautiful 1980 SA ten anniversary edition and dream 1993 FD.
I have finally moved Jenny into the barn do i can begin working on her. Start will be removing the engine and transmission. Then i can begin the much dreaded bodywork. Hopefully i can get her together and on the road.
