The latest pictures are posted. I had the cam timing off - but you can address this on the car. It runs now and quite well

Off to the Columbia Gorge Rally this weekend weather permitting
I am not driving 3 hours in the rain over the mountains

Beautiful, and I'll bet it drives nice too. And Elva's such a nice name.

You know...that's actually one pretty little car!

As Tony and above said, a very nice car.

Volvo - he rolls

Both a bit odd for car names when you think about it, but no worse than the circus full of animals that American car names can be.

Looking good!

Chevy Nova - NO go.... something of a liability for sales to spanish speakers, I'd think....

Nice Elva, I don't think I ever saw one that wasn't a race car, very nice, you're lucky fella.


Oh and as far as the title of the post goes, I've got one for you all, at our local big car show a few years back, we had the factory Rolls Royce guys coming up with two new cars, with a Brit mechanic driving one, he called our show director on the cell phone to let him know the car had broken down on the roadside and they were attempting repairs, it's how he put it that still cracks me to this very day, he told us,
"the car has ceased to proceed"

He must have been quoting the owner's manual;

Very nice looking Elva!
Respect for all the work.

Pretty car!!

I see it is a LBC in every way and marking it territory on the cardboard under the car.

The comments the by the Brit mechanic reminds me that years ago a co-worker was told by a computer support representative that AIX systems do not crash. They have unplanned system halts. We joked for a long time when it USHed again.
