It's disturbing that you're familiar enough with mouse crap that you're able to recognize the smell despite being overpowered by oil.

the mouse smell overpowered the oil smell before I drove it back over the mountains. I actually hosed the interior out, lol.

Last night I replaced the fuel sending unit (and pickup), fuel pump, and fuel filter in the work parking lot. I was having a problem with the truck stalling on the way in to work on tuesday. The problem turned out to be the fuel pump even though it was only 4 months old.

I also installed the rear emblems and reflectors. I'll get a pic later.

Cool. Seriously, thanks for getting my truck prettied up a little bit. Now I'm just waiting for your RX7 to get finished so I can finally get it back!

I haven't cleaned any of it yet or painted.

I replaced the inner fender on the passenger side because at some point it was almost completely cut out. You can see why I need to rewire the truck.

I had to replace the passenger side door because or was in such bad shape. I still need to finish the rust repair, paint, install trim, and install the mirror.

Here is the drivers side door with the holes welded and the factory western mirror:

Here is the Custom emblem and reflector (other side looks the same):

I picked up a chrome front bumper. The chrome is in fairly good shape for its age and will be a huge improvement over the painted bumper. I also picked up pieces I was missing for my sliding rear window. As soon as I get them installed, I will be able to lock and seal my rear window the way ford intended.

I picked up a new rear sliding window seal a week ago and I plan to have it installed this week.

I went to the junk yard on Friday and got a good hood and wiper arms.

3 project vehicles at once. You are the man. No other married person in the world could pull that one off!

3 project vehicles plus a project house, lol.

My truck has been giving me fits all week.

Started out the starter was giving me trouble so I replaced the solenoid. That didn't fix it so I replaced the starter.

After that I replaced the battery because it was dead. The new battery started the truck right up so I thought all was good. Next morning the new battery was dead and the regulator was making noise. I replaced the regulator last night and jumped the car. I went to crank the starter and it stuck on causing the battery terminal to smoke and heat up. I got it all disconnected before I caused a fire. I know there is a short somewhere.

I'm down to:
-Bad new solenoid
-bad ignition switch
-wiring short under the dash

anyone have any ideas?
