Another day of great accomplishment.

 

Michael, Dave, Neil, Jim and Charley and I hit it hard. Larry stopped by
too. We got the MGC out, and dragged  it 1.5 miles before getting the motor
unstuck, with no apparent mechanical bits trying to escape. The goal is to
have that rat bastard running and driving by May. We also got the '63 VW
Notchback out, got the motor snatched, and determined my assessment of 20
years ago when it was last driven was correct, and that that trans was
fubar. It was a major effort to get that out. I had another transaxle from a
Ghia, and after swapping out the axle tubes to get the right shock mounts,
we wrestled that thin in as the last act of the day.

 

The shop looks about 200% better, is far better organized on both the cold
and heated side.

 

I can't thank all of you enough for your help and support.
