Well I started running it up to temperature and then I get a little dribble of coolant coming from the Radiator... oh yeah, like 10 years ago when I last drove this thing it started developing a radiator leak, guess a decade of sitting didn't fix it so I guess i need to pull it.
 Now for an activity my 3 year old was all about, leak hunting! Ran a bath, capped the outlets, time for a dunk! (Look at that tub ring, my wife was about as happy about this as the time I put the intake manifold in the dishwasher...)  Bingo! it was small enough that I had to blow into a coolant hose to build up enough pressure to make it bubble but sure enough here it is!  I got so lucky, literally the easiest spot to access. I mixed up some JB Weld and patched it up.  Reinstalled my freshly washed and patched radiator, I will give it a day or so to dry and see how it holds!  |

I am sorting out the rear taillight wiring, looks like another thing I forgot didn't work was the reverse lights. Circuit was good but the switch doesn't engage correctly.
 I pulled the switch and the pin was about the right length, I think there is something a bit funky with the switch but I cut a chunk of an allen wrench a little longer than the pin and after a couple filing sessions I got it dialed in.  Reverse light wire gets power when I engage reverse now, one step closer to street legality!  |

Okay, so a lot of you know the body to this car is still in storage in Wyoming, I am going to retrieve it later this summer, but I think this chassis is ready to start testing now, so I have a plan, a bolt on "bumper" that includes all of the bits to make it "street legal" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I cut up some steel stock using an old license plate as a jig.
 Welded it up and used the stock tranny exhaust mounting points to hang it  Then painted it and wired up some led trailer taillights. For fun I mounted the license plate that it ran the last time it drove, tags expired 13 years ago... how time flies! Well it is about to make its triumphant return to the street! This is going to be fun!  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Wow, you are right, 10 years to the day since my first post in this thread, didn't even realize that until you said something, how cool. Looks like I better take it out for a spin today to celebrate, good thing I just got it insured, titled and licensed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/birthday3.gif) Anklebiter!  |

Okay, 10 years to the day, first drive is here, still a long way to go but a major milestone none the less! Thank you to all of you for joining me on the long meandering journey!
As promised here are the videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEqFDY0ZNrk Got it into third here, tires broke loose at about 4500 rpm in third (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) this thing is going to be a monster... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwWOz25GmaU |

This is so far beyond cool that it just made me grin from ear to ear. Congrats!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I also love those taillights...they're subtly "914" with a modern twist. If you can swap the order to have the ambers to the outside, they really would tie in with the car's basis. Can't wait to see this car as it moves back under bodywork—although seeing all of its systems so low and within wheels is equally fun to look at. |

Do you have plans yet for how to transport the body? |
