Problem List For My Car...

:popcorn:

Hello Everybody,

My name is Kevin and yesterday I just picked up my first toyota for $500.00 and I am really excited. It has a few problems but this is a project I want to fix and I might need some help. I'm working really hard for a few dollars an hour so it will take time. All right you guys and girls don't know much about me and I have no idea about you. I welcome you to post in this thread if you have any questions for me and about whats going on with this toyota.
I am not a writer but I can type a few intellegent things from time to time. OK now lets talk about this old beat up white thing sitting out side of my apartment. It's a 1990 Toyota Corolla and it's a very fast car and if you don't believe me just take a look here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-y7MBneQW0)

Need To Fix Brake Light Mount
DONE
I've fixed this problem for now with good old ductape and unscrewing the lights from the caseing. The problem was that my cars brake light bulbs are on the original case and the reflector part is from a newer version of toyota so it was tricky.
:screwy:

Need To Fix Driver Door Window
DONE
I've found the problem of this to be the side rubber track that the window slides up crinkled up and the window was off the tracks. I just need to keep the window from falling and cracking now till I open the door panel and place the window correctly centered on the track and close the window for a few days so the rubber streatches out.

Need To Fix Battery Or Test The Altinator
DONE
Now I am having another problem because I just replaced the Altinator and it seems like a starter issue. :runaround::dunno:

Need Gas Cap Key Lock
DONE:gives:

Other then that I just did not have the time yet so check back when I fix it.
