    All the car guys watched to the end. The Trolls are all sure Randy has a body double with him doing the work and he's taking the glory. Absolutely perfect, "It's 1am and the parts stores are closed so I have to get the starter working." moment. Car turns over a couple of times and runs. I wonder how many of us were sitting on the driveway with you fellas offering advise. Transmission fluid reminded me of something one of the ladies would have brought to a church social.

    Well done. I was captivated by the whole show. Personally, I do not mind videos being split up, as it gives me something to look forward to. I cannot wait to see if this car totally comes back to life. I have had issues with wiring before because of corrosion and as I do not have the resources to hire a mechanic some of the time, I simply start pulling them apart clean with fluid film or wd 40 put them together pull them apart, then back together, and that almost always fixes the issue. For your cluster check the fuses, corrosion is almost sure will be there, and spray everything under there, same with the window switches, fluid film for those, soak them down and move the switches back and forth, you may need to expose everything, but they should come back to life. I live in Nova Scotia Canada, and we are in a high-salt environment so this is not new to us. Good luck, love the content, and finally Randy you got this.
