Bug Update...Number Twenty One...

STOKED!!!!

Interior is all buttoned up...Brakes freshened up...Motor tuned up...Aaaaand she is roadworthy!

It is a great feeling! Don't get me wrong there is still more to be done. In the very near future...Finally wire up the stereo.

After that everything else is fluff...Expensive fluff...That will all come in due time. I want to drop the front end, Upgrade the front to disc brakes and add a roof rack...Aaaand that'll pretty much take it where I had envisioned her from the get go.

For now...We are just going to cruise the heck out of her! And so far we are doing a great job!

Joe snapped these shots from the back seat on the way to lunch...Super roomy back there!

Bug Update...Number Twenty...

I got the interior all wrapped up this week. It had been a while since I have been able to take her for a drive and I was all fired up to take a few hot laps around the neighborhood. Hopped in...Fired right up...Went to slap her into gear and. "Grrrriiiiinnnnddddd!" It didn't want to go into gear...Then I remembered when she was getting rewired they tossed in a new clutch cable for me...It would shift into gear just fine when parked but not while the motor was running. After wedging myself all the way under the rear of the car a few times, breaking a bulb in my flashlight and a few turns of the wing nut and we were back in action.

I just need to wire up the stereo and get her idling a little better and she'll be ready for some cruising! And then she just needs to sit a bit lower and I'll be stoked!

Bug Update...Number Eighteen...

I finally got around to getting the rest of the carpet installed and I slapped in my bamboo parcel shelf too. Stoked! I still have to wrap up the seats. Hopefully my tires will be in this week...maybe next week...and then we can take this girl for a cruise.
