Re: HELP--NEW OWNER AND LOVE IT!!!
THANK YOU to everyone for the warm welcome and the help! My son did disconnect the battery and the code has not came back--Thank God. The blinkers started working just fine so am leaving well enough alone!! But, I am keeping the instructions on how to get the column off.
I am in Norman. I did have the mechanic check the tires. The rim has about 5 holes in it from the flaking and corrision of that blasted rim. Right now, I have one cavilier rim on the back--looks funny but works. He, the mechanic, loaned me the rim until I can afford to get one. Evidently, these PT rims are worth gold, IF you can find a good one. A salvage yard in OKC has one and he will "let" me have it for 235---am on SS and you know how the gov doesn't think us common folk need to eat much less need a car!! So, am looking for a set of ANYTHING, cheap, that will fit it. A place called Wheel Connections "says" they can fix the rim by machining off all the chrome on the rim and fix the holes---but I don't know how they aim to fix the holes. If this is possible,please let me know. They will do it for 50 a rim. Right now, its just that one rim. I am afraid it will just start doing it again. They said No--because all that chrome will be gone. I just don't know.
Have another question--(oh no, here she goes again)----my car was beat up by hail. It would cost more to fix and repaint than the car is worth. What ideas would be to cover up or disquise the dents? Its all over the car--worse on hood and roof. We have came up with a ladybug. My car is red. My son is having a fit--no ladybug...Any ideas???? Thanks,Kathy
