Having an awful time

[jlaird]

getting up the motivation to pull Miss Agathas engine. Went for a bit of a ride last nite even and that didn't do it.

It's awful I never feel this way.

I know not even a great big job. Maybe one day if I could work all day. Just can't get started.

This is when you need a true winter, Jack. Hard to take a car off the road, so the freezing cold (and snow and ice and salt) make it easy for us 4-seasons folks to get up the motivation for the big projects.

Miss Agatha deserves the best, Jack. You'll get there. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Drive her till the weather turns...I've gotta pull the engine in the '63 I'm taking to Missouri to do the clutch..we can give one another encouragement over the Jan-Feb timeframe!

Yep but even in the spring I find myself putting things off until winter.

Jack, do you have a friend you can schedule in to give you a hand for a day or two. If everything is lined up, and with a little help, it really isn't that big of a job. The getting started is the hard part. Before the friend gets there, have everything loose so his imput is on hte actual pulling of the motor and tranny. But, you do have the lack of winter issue. Good luck.

Jack, enjoy the car a while more.

There's cold weather coming, even to Florida, and that will be a better time for this project. When the time comes you will be surprised how quickly and easily the engine/tranny slips out.

If you have a helper, even better...if not, invite me down, shouldn't take the two of us more than a month or two. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Looks like you have an interesting weekend of weather Jack, should take the sting out of the high temps.
Good luck sir.

 

[jlaird]

Thanks, with a bit of luck I will have the engine ready to pull monday for sure.

I wish I was ther to help you jack. I am tired of piddly things and want some real mechanical work.

 

[mrsprite]

Did I miss something? Why do you need to pull the engine? What happened?

(Sorry if this was covered elsewhere)
