Worked on the ole 02 this w/e
After I got the turn signals and horn working, I made my own little aux fan by wiring up the old A/C fan to a switch inside the car. Now, if I exit the freeway and have to sit in traffic, Kermit stays cool. 2002's are notorius for under cooling, but hey, at least the radiator is metal.

After that, I changed the oil and filter, and washed the car.
