Hmmm, been busy, haven't been on, have ya missed me? Ya ya, I know, like you miss a toothache, right?
Anyway. Binabox is still sitting. Machine shop has the head, crank and block. Chuck went by there today, blah blah blah (because I'm tired and forgot exactly what he said) and the guy is going to start building the head. Guy was surprised the head was good, considering the age of the car and the fact we know no history on the car prior to Tony acquiring it. As far as painting, John still has 2 cars ahead of me, he's shooting for mid-March. I'm shooting him if it's any later than April 1. I see no conceivable way this car will be road-ready by MG2006. Radiator and gas tank are still at the shop too. I'm contemplating taking the car myself to the guy John has sandblast it (or whatever) and get that done and out of the way so it's ready when John is and we don't have 'down time' waiting on that job. And I haven't decided on color, interior or polished one bloody piece of chrome.
Emma. Gotta love Moss. Everything came yesterday (brake lines, etc.) except the exhaust system. Today the exhaust came - minus the center pipe. Wonderful. Did get a good start on putting that part of her back together. Tuesday we're dollying (is that a word?) Emma over to John's shop to install the SUs (Chuck wants to work on it there) It's been 20 days since I've driven her.
I'm frustrated as h*ll here.
Polar Bear Run is February 12th. Endurance rally (which I'll do alone if I can't get someone to go with me) is April 1st and 2nd (depending if you do the 24 hour or 12 hour rally). If I don't have a car running by then, I am going to probably end up in jail.
