Re: My Project Car
It looks brighter than most indigo blues that i have seen. Amazing color on that car. I have always loved that color, then again, i have a soft spot for Windsor Blue
God i miss that car.

Re: My Project Car
Well I have been working on the engine with Jim, and Have I learned a thing or two.
Here is what my engine looked like last Saturday
When I let Saturday, it looked like this!
Here is what the head looked like.
I should have it finished and home this week end.

Re: My Project Car
Finally, the engine is home in my garage.
Now all I need to do is:
1 install the engine/transaxel;
2 Replace the suspension with the nice lowering kit I bought;
3 Brake job; and
4 hope it starts.

Re: My Project Car
Just a quick update.
The engine is installed. I'm looking for a couple of hoses I removed that I can't find (small matter)
I determined one of the main bearings is shot, but it is not such a big deal since I am doing the suspension/brakes this week end.
Pics to follow!

Well you all keep hearing about this car, so I figure I should show a progress photo.

Re: My Project Car
Nice, cabby. Too bad the weather has been so crappy there this summer (if that is what you can call it). Since I am in Calgary too I might have to swing by and check yours out to give me some ideas for mine.
