vroom vroom..

What an interesting week of motor mechanical self education, with the budget shot i dived in and worked out alot of my own problems. its always scary trying to do something for the first time you think your going to wreck everything but after reading the manual back to front you start to get how things work. i finally worked out that i had the distributor to retarded so i moved it round a few degrees and she started first go.. fuel was flowing and a bit of tuning and wow she settled down to a nice idle. had a lot of smoke at the start but let it heat up and clear it self out. next was the brakes, had a hard pedal so i started with the booster but after taking it apart it looked all okay so put it back in and moved on to bleeding the system. all of this is completely new to me so just took my time and worked through it. finally turn up to be the front right caliper piston was seized so took it in yesterday to my local brake place and had it service. they did a nice job too. put it on tonight and got the wife to help me bleed it and walla brakes were fixed, so couldn't wait anymore warmed her up and took her around the block for a first spin[the car i mean]..
was very pleased with the drive , brakes worked and gear box was not bad..but it still needs some fine tuning. i have made a very short video , I'm not one for the camera but what the hell.. looks like we might get to the gorge this christmas.                    thanks for watching..
