Took off the engine hatch and slotted the hinge so I could slip the hatch on and off without having to fully remove the bolts. I also tack welded the hinge bracket that was starting to flex causing the hatch to sag on one side. I was concerned about the heat penetrating the firewall from the welding so I removed the seats and back pad. While I had them off I removed and cleaned the seatbelts and lubed up the spools for the belts. They now retract easily and quietly. While I had the hatch off I installed a new set of points and condenser.

Cleaned and re painted my Pedrini's. Now if the car was as good looking! Oh well, something for another day.

Finished repainting my wheels on my six. Took a couple shots, "with & without". I think you need "with", to tie the colors together. I think I like "Great Pumpkin" more than "Antisicle". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Loooonngggggg weekend. Got my teener off of jack stands after of week of tackling several projects, all of which were more or less dependent on the gas tank being removed. All three projects finished up today:

1. Replaced the master cylinder. After bolloxing up the one I bought I managed to use the one in my project teener, which I think is also a 19mm. After a power bleed everything seems to be working well. Wow, this project was a real PIA, and I learned a lot the hard way.

2. Cleaned up the fresh air blower that had never worked and managed to get mid and high speeds working (but low just gets the resistor hot and smokes and the fan doesn't move). Wow, this project was a real PIA, and I learned a lot the hard way.

3. Got the electric windshield washer pump installed and triggered off the column switch (924 wiper switch). Up to now the car has not even had the stock windshield washer solution, so it's good to have something in place. Wow, this project was a real PIA, and I learned a lot the hard way.

4. As a bonus, while the car was on jack stands I put new, wider tires on the rear to replace the OLD, cracked, pitifully thin tires that were there previously. This was not a PIA. It was easy and satisfying.

After all that, it felt REALLY good to fire it up after a week and take it for spin. Thanks for everyone's help and encouragement as I got through this. I managed to check off a lot of "to-do's" but boy were they a PIA!

Please see Sleepin's WTB in the classifieds. He's looking for a nice set of BUBs.

Since it was pushed out of the garage for play time, I figured I would tinker with it. I have been scared to start it since it has been in storage for 20 plus years. I changed the oil, hooked up jumper cables, added fresh gas. First key turn, motor spun. I was happy it was not locked up. Second turn, spin and sputtered. Surprised would be an understatement. Third key turn, motor started and had a good idle. Completely shocked. I let it run for three mins then shut it down. It was just the thing I needed to make me keep it. My dad and I had talked for years about "getting it running". He passed away a year ago. My new goal is to get it road worthy, drive the dragon like we said we would. I will just have to do it with my lil girl in the passenger seat. Time to make new memories with the "tiny red car that winks" as she calls it.
