It was great to read the posts from you guys who got good weather this
weekend and went driving.. so jealous.
I got the manifold resurfaced and the manifold-to-turbo flange leak welded
up tight. The cross-flow is installed and tested, the motor running great.
Only problem is NO WINDSHIELD. The surround gasket should arrive today, but
of course it is now raining again!
After reading about you folks cruising in the Pocono's, I couldn't resist
taking it out and running it up and down the cul-de-sac without the
windshield just to hear the motor run. The neighbors now have begun to
realize what a nut lives down the street from them. I started to wonder if
the windshield frame alone with a few Marcel Marceau wiping gestures at the
right moment might fool a Highway Patrolman into thinking there was actually
glass in the frame. Or possibly arguing that my eyeglasses constitute a
pair of windshields. Chickened out and put it back in the garage.
