I have two projects. Getting my Barn find 67 MGB in a state where I can
trailer it down the the DMV to register. Need to bleed hydraulic system and
I'm working on getting a stuck engine water valve to work on 59 Healey
100-6, so I can flush my block and install an aluminum Radiator and pusher
fan. Also chasing an oil blowby source, I teach Full time HS and part time
college, plus volunteer for a number of organizations. So I'm time starved.
I do retire from my day job end of JUne. That should free up a a lot of
time.
Happy motoring and tinkering folks.
