Thank you! It seems as if "a few minutes" or "one quick thing" there ends up being a full night of wrenching. These days, that's not such a bad...
All that's left on the chassis, for now, is torquing the front suspension. Steering will go back on after the body. I located my body welting from...
I only had a couple hours out in the garage tonight, but I ended up getting more done than I had originally planned. For my first order of...

My flight just landed at SFO and I’m about to head back to the house. I believe I have a few small pieces waiting for me, and my rear wheels will...
Thank you! Slowly but surely, we’re making progress.
Well, please don’t be too sad. I did the same thing to the decklid about 130 pages ago, as well as the cowl top last summer. My neighbors and I...
