For LBC work.....
Looking at the maps for the forecast temps this weekend, a lovely weekend is upon us across most of the country.
Sooo.....
Do we have all our LBCs ready yet?
I'm itching to finish mine because spring is right around the corner...
As a percentage, how ready are you all for driving season?
I'm about 80%

Tunebug should be driving my mid April or so. Parents are coming out then, and I'd like to at least be able to give them a ride around the block. Need to get the radiator worked on, and clean out the gas tank. Should replace the seals on the rear hubs as well. I need to get busy!
 
If I could get the Midget through the snow behind the trailer, I'd drive it today. But, I can wait 'til the rest of the snow melts.

Living in my neck of the woods I'm really only limited by the rain. While that is nice it kind of limits projects as theres just no good time to start.
 
I might be able to get it running by September the way I'm going...
 
Not this weekend,Pineapple express heading our way!
 
Still doing the "Paint Job on a Budget", but I am getting there.
 
21 days until my insurance goes back on the cars...I have a few projects for the B that need to be completed this year but one requires me to be able to drive the car to school, and the other two are weekend projects that can wait until funds permit. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
 
Mine is in pieces, but I hope to have it back together by mid April. I have always been optimistic.

I'm very ready and have indeed been driving Agatha. One small problem - Had all new tires and tubes put on along with balancing (tires were out of round - 5 years of driving in New Mexico) and unfortunately someone at the tire shop thought they could close the boot with a simple slam. Well, he/she found out that the boot doesn't close that way. Boot now paint chipped and dented. She'll be going into the body shop next week for 3-5 days at their expense to make it right. Also owner ordered a soft hammer so that he never has to open another Healey boot.

I really like those bananas
 
I never let the tire store guys touch my car. I take the wheels off and hand them over, or take them off at home and bring them to the shop in another vehicle. it isn't that they don't care, they just don't know any better even after you've warned them.
 
We've got snow season, salt season, mud season...

Hit 50f yesterday, so driving season is a possibility some day!
 
Crypty is more or less operational.
A rather large hole in the driver's floor
but Doc Bill is gonna extract the bad and
put in some new. He's the guru of floor
pan replacements. A true wizzard.

COME ON DOWN, BILL!!

Only in the hi 50's today, but after missing yesterday's 65 I was determined to take the car out for the first time since early Nov. In ref to a thread in another forum, I cranked my yellow top Optima for almost 1/2 hour getting it started, then spent the best 20 minutes of the year so far driving the local streets getting everything warm and my psyche restored. Woo Hoo
