Indeed,
Merry Christmas to all my fellow__if demented__Healey and other interesting sportscar owners!
Here's to another
Happy New Year with Healey adventures (and their associated
character issues)
So, does anyone have any interesting New Year's resolutions pertaining to the subject of cars?
I don't know if I can pull it off, but I'd like to work on fewer customer cars, and take care of a problem I have with each of my own cars:
-Install those low-friction (Nadella thrust) bearings on kingpins, and get the (new) original tank, a working fuel gauge & trunk trim kit in the Healey
-Dump the coolant so I can replace the sticking thermostat in my '99 M Rdstr (fingers crossed that is why it occasionally tries to scare me by threatening to overheat...).
-Replace the leaking intake manifold gskt on the supercharged M Coupe (I *just* got a SolidWorks dwg of the flange so I can get some__NLA__gaskets made, but I don't have a program to open the file to check it) and in so doing, I want to revamp the entire Eurosport Twinscrew setup with rebuilt & polymer-coated pieces (already prepped a second set of everything).
-Replace the drive-belt idler/tensioner pulleys on my '01 M Rdstr that just started making noise when I start it up from cold.
In every case, I already have all the parts__save for a manifold gasket__to accomplish all those tasks, except for the time; I've already got enough jobs coming in to get through April...
What does anyone else have planned?
