Replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets, also installed a new manifold stud after the previous one shook itself out.

I also wired in a relay to manually turn on the radiator fans from inside the cabin for when I'm stuck in traffic on hot days.

those look great ! hey scott i can't find the thread where you talked about the gps mount but how did you fasten it to the car again? I just used the screws supplied but it's not as sturdy as i would hope. It wobbles around a little bit

Replaced the ignition wires yesterday, and found this tube broken





It must have been like this before I had the car, and the car run fine.

I fixed it, I found a small pice of hose that fit and reconnected it.



I also need to replace the plugs, I removed one to see what it looks like



It's a Bosch Super R6, 865, WR7 DC. I think I put the same in.

Cheers and happy new year

Took the battery tender off and started it up. Up and down the driveway for a few. ( Not insured for the street in the winter but sure was tempting to do a few laps around the block. ) Wiped it off with a soft cloth.Still not ready to put the cover on it yet.Weather has been great here in the Great White North. I should have kept the ins. on it.

Replaced the sunvisor holder clip on the passenger side as the old one failed and left the visor flapping around

Also fixed the rear hatch by adjusting the pins (It now opens and closes easily and doesn't pop up any more)

Lindsey racing has a vacuum tube kit for about $25.00. It will replace all those old brittle and broken vacuum lines. Cheap and easy to do.

what an amazing photo.

the abstact reminds me a bit of the Guards Red 924 in Iceland before it got all the body work and new paint. on the above photo, maybe Photoshop the section of the ceiling that appears above the windshield to mix in better with the rest of the background.

When one breaks, the other ALWAYS breaks with it. Sometimes in minutes, sometimes hours... Better replace both of them.

I can't seem to find it but I remember reading a thread all about peoples' stories of their sunvisor clips breaking at the same time

Great tip - that would make sense.

Fortunately, the Previous Owner has replaced the drivers side one, as one of the drivers side has been replaced with a black one and the remnants of the original brown one were still on the passenger side.
