Project: Restore Glory

Between a lack of funds, electrical problems, and having a new daily driver, my poor old Yaris has been gathering dust for the past couple of years.

But that is starting to change! I actually recently got an offer from someone who wanted to buy the car off me, but it was really low, and I just could not bear to part with that silly old lump of red-painted metal

So, I decided to slowly restore the car back to its former glory, as time and budget allows.

First step was to get a battery charger. The battery drain issues are a lot better now since the battery was moved to behind the passenger seat, but after several months, it was still flat. Now at least I can bring it back to life from the comfort of my own home, and I have been driving it a few times already Engine still runs solid, and the smile on my face comes back every time

The next step was very important... My lovely Momo aluminium and leather shift knob has not taken kindly to years of palm sweat and just crumbles in my hand. So I looked around the local version of eBay for a good replacement made of plastic (hot weather + metal knob, kinda painful sometimes), and today I received it!

It's a very small thing to do, of course, but it just restores my confidence in this car, and I think we can look forward to many years of fun together again
