64bj8 II. Finally - after 21 months - my 1st drive
Hi all. And just a quick shout out to all my fellow Healey owners here in California. Is it hot and humid or what? Last 3 days, temps up here in NorCal are hitting 119. Just sitting here typing, I feel as hot as driving the Healey on a hot day with the heater on.
Kinda like last Saturday.
My first drive in her in 21 months. I drove her from my house to the interior shop, about 20 minutes away. Together we were to install the jute, rugs and top. I drove her there, with most of the parts including the top laying in my car.
Yup, all that was installed was my seat and seat belts. Just a Dynamat floor and a windshield. No door glass, no trans cover, not even back seats, nada. Just outside temp over 100 and inside healey temp of, boy...this car generates a lot of hot air. Now I know a lot of heat comes from the trans area. I could watch my sweat drop right though there. The hottest ride I've ever had in a Healey. But I got to drive her, and it was great!
We only got the top installed and some of the jute and rug. Tuesday, I will drive her back and see if we can finish the job. And yes, we are still in a heat wave. But I now have room to bring the trans cover, thank you very much. Roger
