Today I bought a fuel float (the thing that sits in the gas tank, it floats over the oil and pulls a cable that connects to the fuel indicator). I talked over the few remaining issues to be tackled with the mechanic, Kuya Mancio. After the starter and the fuel tank problem, the problem now lies in the fuel injector. It can be repaired, and I'm leaving it up to Kuya and Batman to fix it. Apart from that, the engine works and after the the fuel injector is fixed, the brakes will be taken care of. It sounds tedious, I know, because IT IS tedious. We're troubleshooting as we go, and I'd rather we shoot down the trouble before Mo hits the road.
While I checked the car, I turned my attention to rot. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but there's a hole in the driver's side. Earlier, I found that there's a bigger hole right under the front hood -- where the spare wheel should be. The rubber seals around the engine compartment has also rotted through so I'd need to have that taken care of, most probably next year.

I meant to take more pictures but I'll get back to you on that next week. In the meantime, I'm checking my options on how to fund further repairs. Stay tuned.
