I feel bad for Captain Usopp (my car, not the character, though sometimes I do feel bad for him too X3) cause I've sort of pushed him aside this past week due to Anime Expo and recovering and preparing for it.
Anyways, so Steve and I mucked around inside his guts today, I already got the thermostat and the gasket...but man. We drained it, took the thermostat out, turns out it was stuck closed by all these hard water deposits. Great, just great. Another thing, the thermostat housing was so crusty and dead, that it's dangerously close to just being broken and springing a giant leak. =___= That's just...wonderful. :( Just...wonderful. And that part is apparently mad hard to find, cause normal places don't stock it, and the car is so old that a Nissan dealership probably doesn't either.
So Steve and I, before the World Cup starts at 8am, are going to go to the junkyard in hopes of finding an old 300ZX and prying a thermostat housing off of it. JOY. If I miss the World Cup final, I am going to be the saddest panda on earth. :(
