    Thanks!

    Y'know, it is a blast to drive! The suspension, the steering rack, the Koni's. It's good. I've been driving it just for fun, something I don't do much in my.....Volvo wagon. It has a ton of torque - I went up a short canyon in town in 4th gear at 1500 rpm, and it just kept accelerating, uphill.

    It has some stumbling at cold start, a bit of that old idle searching. But I just realized that full tank is almost a year old - yike. So I poured some stablilizer / cleaner in and topped it off, and I want to just burn through this tank before I go back to stage 0 and pull out the r3v Jim Levie bible notes.

    Battery is on its last legs, seats are torn up, I'm shopping for the OE foam pieces. Paint was beautiful in 2014, but it was a quick job and it's been out in the sun since. I'll take a buffer to it and see what I can do.

    My '67 Alfa is STILL under construction. I'm building new brake lines this month.

    Mrs Late doesn't exactly appreciated driving just for fun. Oh well.
