Parts Sale/Welding

Today we listed the extra parts on craigslist.  Want a 1995 Toyota Corolla power steering pump, radiator, intake manifold, A/C condenser, alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, or distributor?  If so, click the link.

We also fooled around with the welder in Aidan's garage.  Welding was surprisingly difficult.  It took a while, but we eventually stuck two pieces of metal together.  We burnt a hole through the table we were welding on, and I used a fire extinguisher for the first time.

Since EMC is still working on the motor, our next item on the to do list is to buy new tires.  Two of them are bald, and one has the steel belt poking through the side.  Hopefully, the motor will be done by Thanksgiving, so we can design its mount and go battery shopping.
