So, I trusted AutoMeter when they said their new electric gauges were accurate. My mistake.
My oil pressure seemed to be dropping. I checked my magnetic drain plug and oil filter and they were completely clean. So, I put a mechanical gauge on it. 45-50 at idle and 75 at higher RPMs. The electric gauge was down to saying 20-25 at idle and 45 at higher RPM.
Back to only trusting mechanical.

5 cars, 2 that actually run.
Giant shop that I had to build myself because paying to have it done was beyond my cash funds, and screw financing.
And the lift was cheaper than I thought, but I only had 2500$. I still owe the man 300$, so I'll pay that off on pay day.
So, funds are depleted like no other. But I got a shop and a lift to make some back. Lol

Man, I'm blown away with what my two properties are worth. One is paid off and they are near or right at double the value I purchased them for. Feels good to have some retirement plan coming together at 33!

I'm so damn geared up now. This has been the moment I have been waiting for. I have been putting off so much work, telling myself that I won't do anything till the shop is done and it is worth it.
Yanked the 89 coupe apart after work today. Kinda sad but the 89 will be worth it since it has safety equipment and better components.
