Default Pulling the car off the rack and turning it around. (( 07-04-24 ))

What sounded like a simple task turned into a calamity of errors and mass frustration. When I put the car in reverse
it displayed "N" which was odd as the car drove prior to this.



I gave the car a little gas and the car just didn't want to move, it struggle to move as the engine's rpms increased.



Then it got worse, as I was backing up the jack pads caught the subframe which pretty much stopped the car. I got
out of the car and blocked the front tires and jacked up the rear end so I could move the sliding jack.







Thankfully it has rubber pads so no damage was done.



Of course I forgot to move the tire block and once again the car stopped moving. Ugh !!!



Drive is appeartly "4th" Gear on the Dash. Hopefully Dr EFI Andrew can fix that for my brain.



I did manage to get it out of the garage and turn it around and as i was backing up I noticed the Brake Lights where
on even though I was not in the car. That will be tomorrows project.



Then the heat hose started leaking and that is why you start a new project car with distilled water in the radiator as it
is much easier to clean up.



That's it I am going riding.
