well, i got a call today from greyhound bus terminal saying they had a box shaped like a roll bar waiting for me. I zipped over at lunch and picked it up and installed it in the parking lot when i got off work. I have to give it to John Hajny, my redline rollbar fits and looks very good.

As for the poopy mobile, ends up the battery was just too dead to turn the motor fast enough to make adequate vaccum/spark/ etc.... took the battery to autozone across the street and charged her up. She started right up and after some CO adjustment, idles and moves on her own. it still has terrible hesitation, but diagnosis for that will be after the exhaust is totally on (just a header and test pipe right now)

Any locals want to hang at the garage this weekend? im thinking of installing my belts and seals this weekend, nine44 should be there and should be warm out. BYOB for anyone who can make it.

oh, and IM GETTING MY EURO BUMPER AND VALANCE SOON!!!! IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS!!! thanks tifo

 

Love the front valance and bumper!!!!

 

Hey Dan, the bill has been paid on that bumper. As soon as it arrives I'll toss it in the back of ol' blue.

 

SWWWEEETTTTTTTT!!!!

 

this is just gonna turn into a thread about that front valance now. but i need to ask...

whats up with the valance?

 

I'm there- we may go to WPAFB on Saturday for a walkabout if the weather is good- Sunday may look better.

I was seriously thinking of heading to the garage this weekend to offer you another set of hands. (Ok, I wanna do my trans gaskets and filters too..)
.. maybe repack my CV's.. NO oil change..

I'll get in touch.

 

I will look much better after you make this little change :

 

damn tifo that is pretty good!! yeah looks very nice....we'll see if this guy comes through.

Chris, we can do your filter but i dont want to clean up five quarts of dextron off of my floor......

 

Ouch!

 

Dan, I've got Saturday evening free. If you're gonna be working, PM me an address, or a phone number, or whatever.

I'll bring some kitty litter so you can clean up after Chris.

Dale.

 

Maybe bring something to clean up his oil, too?



Anyway, as it stands now, I will be too busy to make it this weekend, Dan. Maybe see you guys on 4/6. Good luck with the car.

 

I'm working on rebuilding the fuel sending unit today. Yep. the extinguisher is close!! I came inside to have a cig away from the fuel, and look at what happens..
