On The Road Again
This last weekend was the culmination of work to get me back on the road. With the engine back in, the brakes reinstalled and adjusted, fluids refilled, etc., Ariel drove me out of the garage Saturday. Tom took me out for a test drive this morning, and Ariel drove me to school today. All done without incident. Yahoo - it's good to be on the road again.

Almost There
Tom and Ariel have spent some time getting me ready for the re-installation of my engine. As you can see by all the crossed-off items on the To Do list, the time is nearing. Tom spliced in the replacement wire harness. He also took a trip to the junkyard and got some grommets, wire connectors, and a couple of missing sheetmetal pieces. Ariel wanted my air cleaner to be pink, so that's what Tom did for her. The parts turned out quite nice.
Yesterday Tom finished the painting and installed the side engine seals. All that has to be done before putting the engine back in is the installation of the front and rear seals, and the sealing of the wire harness splice.
