actually the motor worked before I took it apart. I'm just one of those people that like to take thing apart and see how they work and give them a good overhaul and put them back together. I snipped the wires on the inside and i'll solder new ones on and run them through the case again.

plus it had been months since I did anything mechanical on the car and I was having withdraws.

my only concern will be the balance of the fan when I put it all back together. I had to grind down the shaft from it being peened a bit and then I had to drill the hole in the fan some. its a bit loose now when I slide it back on. I may have to build the shaft back up and grind till I get a good fit. even if it is a bit wobbly...oh well...I wont be using the heat too much in Texas.


On another note, I forced myself to do 2000, 3000, and 4000 grit sanding on the passenger's side last night. now all that is left is the 3 stages of polishing on both sides and i'm done! WOOHOOOOO!!!
