I assume your building a dolly to tow your crown make the area where the wheels sit on turntable ,if you don't you will wish you had when you have a heavy vehicle on there and it tries to push you through the corners at speed Make the turntable lockable makes it easier to load and back up I used a light truck stub axle and hub as a turntable

Heres a review Andreiev (gandreiev@aol.com) (Huntington, NY) – See all my reviews I've only seen trailers for the Summer 2000 release of GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS. But the trailers show a big budget, MTV style editing, and big stars. What it didn't show was that this thriller about a master car thief is a remake of this 1974 no-budgeter by auto man Halicki. The 1974 GI60S's charm is that it is very low budget. Some scenes, such as the auto auction in the run down lot, or the Radio DJ's cramped little studio add to some crisp atmosphere. However, the first half of GI60S is rather amateurish (One entire scene is terribly out of focus) and we have trouble following Halicki's unprofessionally written plot. The second half of the film is a car chase that has to be seen to be believed! In 40 minutes, close to 90 cars are destroyed in a massive auto chase spanning several cities, freeways, parks, lots, you just name it. For all it's sloppiness, the original 1974 version of GI60S has a neat charm -

I was just wondering if its still on ,not sure if that area got hit with the flooding -
You know what that civic needs to retain the weather blasted look

If you haven't got a multimeter take the positive lead off the battery hook alight up between positive terminal and the lead then unplug the alternator if it is quite bright then you got a current draw ,it its the alternator when its unplugged the light should go out or very dim with every thing off ( car stereo has small current draw when off)
-
I would guess the alternator is stuffed some times when they go they cause a big current drain un plug the alternator charge the battery up come back in the morning and see if the battery is still charged up

Back in the old days we would use a water hose on the vacume pipe flanges ( industrial not automotive ) and you could hear the sucking noises
