Been Busy.....









  1. That's quite a bit of work for a weekend. Sounds good so far.

  2. LOL, and now it begins... And your wife will soon be complaining about your 'mistress'... :-)

  3. She's actually in favor of me having this to tinker on, and she's been helping!

    A lot of the interior restoration involves sewing things back together, replacing worn out/aged elastic bands and cords, and other matters which she knows quite a bit about.

    And she's just itching to drive a manual trans car again.

    Plus, it gets me off my duff and physically moving around a *whole* lot more than my Amateur Radio hobby, she thinks the car is "pretty", and turned out to be a good value after some of my friends on the Celica Supra forum said the car is really worth at least $4500~$5000.

    The East Coast and Canadian guys say that one of these, in the completely rust free condition this one is in, would go for $5000~$6500 where they live.

    So, as long as I stick to the budget we agreed upon before I got the car, she's fine with it.

  4. I've always heard that Motor Flush can knock loose some big deposits that make you have to drop the pan and change a screen. What's your take on that?

  5. I've heard the same thing, too, which is why I went with the Bardahl flush, which isn't as aggressive.

    Before I put it in, I looked in through the oil filler cap, and it looked pretty clean in there, so hopefully I don't have huge accumulations of sludge and varnish.


Keep it civil, please....
