This reassembly may take longer than I thought. Just spent about an hour fitting a generator. Boy am I getting slow and fussy in my old age.

I may take years getting Miss Agatha back on the road.
 
Before I head out to the garage, the wife will ask "How long will it take you?", whatever I answer, she doubles it and adds 20, then she knows exactly when I'll be done.
Don't worry about the time Jack, worry about perfection, Miss A will appreciate it.
 
Fun part about these cars is you will never be done! I decided I'm going to go slow and enjoy the process, and not care if I ever complete it. I get enough stress from other areas of my life. This is going to be my relief.
 
1 hour for the genny?? ha!

I spent about 2.5 hours for the wiper motor and connecting pieces the other night...and the motor is rebuilt and the connecting pieces are restored / partially new...

Of course, when you're not a 100% sure on how to install them in the first place, and Moss sends you the wrong "gear" worm, and you have to use your existing worm, but clean all the caked on dirt/grease on it and, and, and...yeah--things take a lot longer than you anticipate.
