So I finally got all the basics done on my Spit 1500. Even with a severe sinus infection, somehow I got it driving. Not the greatest, but ok. All my gauges work, even if the fuel gauge went a bit crazy. Brakes need some more work, too. So I was on my way to TX All British Car Days in Round Rock, TX, when I noticed a faint cloud starting to form behind me. A second later, I heard the familiar whack whack whack an engine makes when the head gasket gives up the ghost. I coasted to a shopping plaza, locked up, called my wife, and went to the show. Car's back in the garage.
Time for draining the engine, replacing the head gasket and radiator (it developed some pinholes), getting the head cleaned and making sure it's straight, an alignment, a new PDWA valve, and some other fun stuff. I'm pretty happy, as considering what could have gone wrong, this was a pretty good shakedown cruise. Time to get to work!
