Put the steering column back together and wired in new ignition switch. Haven't put the fuses back in or tried to start it yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll give that a shot.

Swapped my 72-and-earlier-only Pedrinis off of my 73, (oops) and put on some steel wheels so I can go to the breakfast tomorrow. Also painted my fender wells black (color change car). Whoop-ti-do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I built a cart for my welder and bottle

I timed two different cams in a friends motor. I'll be having a conversation with debbie on Monday.

BOught some tools at a Harbor freight store

Pushed my teener around and did a little consulting about the race car plans.

Stared at the damage some dumb ass did to my other race car. I should kill him, but I didn't.

I've been working on cleaning up the wiring under the dash. Primarily wiring to the stereo and center console gauges. The PPO had a lot of wires going nowhere, kind of like the Winchester Mystery House. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Pulled all the stereo componets off. Surprised to find an amplifier. Soldered and crimped new wiring and connectors, including cross overs (??? I don't know, they were there). All of that new wiring is now hanging over my drill press because I couldn't avoid the dreaded scope creep.

So this "little" project was/is one of those: open one thing, find something else to do, go fix it, find something else to do, etc., etc., etc....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

So I concentrated on the passenger side, and the console housing. After I pulled the stereo wiring and componets, I saw the the console housing was falling apart at the back, plus the carpet under the console etc, was freying, plus the seat rails were gummy with old grease, plus, all of the nooks and cranies needed vacuming, plus, plus, plus... I think you get the picture. Good news is that the engine and transmission were not touched. With a strong will my "clean up the wiring" project will not end up as a pull the engine project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So, with the grace of God, tomorrow I will have everything back together so I can drive the car to work on Monday!!!

Went out to Sears Point again to show somebody a 914 project car on a trailer.

Watched the motorcycle/sidecar racing for a while.

Had a nice drive home.

Car runs great.

Did a valve adjustment folowing a mileage break in with my new heads.

Hooked up the heat on the driver's side for winter (no flapper boxes). My climate control consists of rolling windows up or down and or removing the top! Simple! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Washed the car and put on the kumhos and numbers. Sparky is ready for tomorrows AX. First one in 5 months - it will be the first time out to try the new close ratio 3rd (5th/3rd swap)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Helmet bag is laying in the passenger's seat. Life is good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
