Had a bad day that got a lot better!

Well I have a bad alternator even though it is almost new. My car died on me tonight as I was coming home from some errands acted like a lost the alternator belt and all the lights came on on my dash. after a few hours geting it jumpstarted and still having the same problem I "lightly tapped the alt with a hammer. poof every thing is all better. so I make some adjustments to the car and take it for a real test drive with a friend in his truck just in case. Almost every thing works now and it feels so good to have my old car back I am really hooked on the fun that this car is to drive. The project is less than half done but it is getting better every day. I plan on getting some pic's up soon but to be honest she ain't much to look at yet. The best part is the fairly low miles on the engine and knowing the cars total history. Thanks to all you guys for the help you have given me the last few months it has really helped.
