Ah ok, thanks Evan. I'll tell him about that. The cable seems to be completely broken, so will I need just an inner cable? Yeah, I was thinking that I'd be better off getting a new battery. The truth is that I have no idea how old that battery is. It might have been sitting in the car for ten years ...

The Aftermath
I have a Iranian friend called Ali that has an Iranian mechanic friend by the name of Ali. This evening he came down to look at the car. My little red monster started easily. The battery and the alternator worked fine. Everything worked. Datsun reliability was making a mockery of me!!! However the b...

Drama in the Royal National Park
I've had such a time of it in the past couple of days. I've been taking my Red Queen out more often and we had a bit of a tiff. I drove out to the Royal National Park with a friend and it was late at night when we got around to heading back. It was pouring down with rain and the road was windy. I ha...

Yeah, I noticed that a healthy N12 or N13 engine sounds a bit like a small truck. If they sound like anything else, something is probably astray. When I first sat behind the wheel of my N12 I was quite shocked about how noisy and rattly the thing was, but I figured that was the nature of the beast. ...

Oh so that arm moving around is normal. I don't think the nose of the glass is out of alignment with the track. The track itself looks fairly straight. I'm also kinda certain that I was able to get the plastic clips clean before I glued them back together. The window seems to hang down towards the n...

But that's what I got here in the uni apartments. There is no tame garden hose here. We aren't allowed to do any gardening here. They have a gardener for that purpose. Actually be decree of the tenancy agreement I am not allowed to wash my car on the premises. I'm not allowed to repair the car here ...

Problem 90% solved...
Well I went down to the parking lot to check the window and it seems to work pretty well. The window is now not interfering with the door lock, so it seems nothing is bent out of shape. However it does appear that the regulator itself is a bit worn. I think that the horizontal arm that the window is...

Drown it in silican
Yep, thanks for the advice Evans. I did all that and why would you think I'd try to make things all neat and pretty in this circumstance? This situation calls for drowning everything in silicon. The dudes at Super Auto Cheap didn't have that Sikaflex stuff. I told them that the adhesive was this bla...

I'll have to glue the glass and the window regulator back together again, then I'll be able to see if something is bent out of shape. I'm not so sure getting a new door is the best thing for it. Everything looks pretty pristine in there. Can't find a spot of rust anywhere on the door and its compone...
