Nervous April Fools Wednesday

[Firesong]

My van goes into the shop today for the timing belt / waterpump
and all the belt , tensioner etc etc work. The guy has worked
on them in the past before he opened his shop up in Canada.
Still a bit nervous, parts are there and waiting. I didn't know if
he had the work manual for what's going on (with specs) so I
printed off the pdf for the work being done. Hope he doesn't take
that the wrong way :) I will be super relieved when this is
done.

That being said it's been a tough week. The car had a surprise
'need' for work yesterday morning. My wife happened to mention
a 'noise' the previous evening and I took it for a drive.. hmm
interesting grinding noise. So after shocks, cv's, struts etc etc
brakes, rotors.... $2100 after tax. <sigh>

Anyway, hope I don't feel the fool after the van gets out of the shop
and doesn't run as good as it did going in.
Cross your fingers.
Just a bit of nerves.. Yogi (yup, that's his name) sounds pretty
straight up that he knows what he's doing.

I think the 1990 Delica has gotten nicknamed by
my friends as the 'APC' since it looks like an old
armored personnel carrier to them.

Got my APC back from the Shop today.
Cost was in line for what I was thinking.
No surprises really found.
He did say it was pretty gutless :)
(said it with a smile)
Anyway, timing belt and all that inner gut stuff
was done and it runs good.
