1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life.
Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull.
If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying
No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting.
Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Oh shit, I didn't fully answer your question yesterday, my bad.
He had the battery cables all kinda goofed up, cut up, messed up, however you wanna describe it. I think he was on a certain substance and his mind wasn't working right, he would always fuck with stuff that didn't even need messing with.
So, I had to halfway reverse engineer which wire actually went where, do a cable extension on the chopped alternator cable, apply a few proper wire crimps (fuckall with random tied wires and electrical tape), and reinstall his totally borked attempt of installing the side mount battery terminals.
Then, since the keys are long lost to the sands of time and dead man's memory, I had to force break the ignition lock tumblers with vice grips. Well, now I can crank it up with no key and no tools, just by hand now.
Oh, also it's gonna need a new battery, the one he had in it has a bad cell and barely charges up to about 11.5 volts, so it needs a jump start to get it cranked up right now, but other than those complications, all the main systems seem to be working and running fine. 👍
We're working on getting the paperwork and title sorted out for it before I bother with any further repairs or parts.
Wish us luck 🤞
"he would always fuck with stuff that didn’t even need messing with"
Funny considering it sounds like he left behind a ton of stuff that DID need to be messed with to fix. Job well done and good luck on the sale!
