6 weeks on ...
... and she LIVES! The first few attempts to start the "Lazy Bitch" where exciting (I'll be blogging the details in my memoirs soon). She didn't really want to get going, but I have about 60 miles on her now. In case anyone wondered, this engine surly spent a decade at least completely ignored, IN a farm. not on a farm... IN... hence the accuracy of the "914 archeology" comment! Even though it is slow. very slow. And smells like the farm and might always do so, she runs very well. The gearbox is good (bonus) and the Monza exhaust sounds nice and deep, but still coughing remnants of past tenants. the SSHE's cleaned up great too! It's full circle for this car it would seem. Big thanks to Rick, of course. Also to Dave (iamchappy) for all his generous help and guidance. Drive safely to Florida next week Dave! I have my jalopy back! Yay Me! |
