Hi Gang,
Here is the update after about 6 or so trips to the lake.
1. The car is doing amazingly well. It purrs like a kitten, and has shown no
sign of a
temperment yet.
2. As expected, the car is an attention magnet. My two favorites are the people
that turned
around, and followed us to the lake, and the trailor-sailor who started yelling
"NO WAY"!,
"NO WAY" as we launched. Most amusing!
3. All visible leaks are fixed. I finally conquered the leak under the door with
a extra
piece of weatherstripping. I am sure I get some around the hood, but I probably
bilge less
than 2 gallons of water out after a 40 minute swim. Does that seem excessive?
4. The only real problem at this time is the brakes. They are pretty swervy when
first
depressed. I am sure that my front brake lines are close to clogging, so they
are going to
be replaced this week!
Thats all for now...
