Well... in the past 2 1/2 weeks I've gotten to spend about 6 hours working
on the wiring harness because it's been too freakin cold to work in the
garage... even with a 55,000 BTU heater sucking up kerosene like crazy. So I
took a few new pictures and updated my web site on the wiring project.
And about the $6500 in damage...... well, today was a school snow day so my
teacher wife had the day off. We needed a few things at the Mall so we went
there for lunch and did a little shopping. As we were leaving the Mall
parking lot, a car came around the corner and slide on the snow/ice right
into us.... side-swiping us from the left front wheel to the rear bumper.
There were about 6 guys in this old beat up Toyota Corolla and no one spoke
English. When the Police got there, it turned out he didn't have a U.S.
Driver's License and the car was borrowed.... but, at least, it was insured!
On the way home I stopped at my favorite Auto Body place (an owner of a TR6
and a TR3) to make sure the car was OK to drive and to get an estimate:
$6500. There's a little wind whistling through the driver's door which
doesn't quite meet with the frame at the roof line but the front and rear
suspensions survived in tact.
