Title: Spring has Sproinged
Post by: dholvrsn on March 16, 2011, 06:25:59 PM
Got tires and shocks aired up on Wee Beastie and started her for the first time this year. I didn't even have to charge the battery. She[/size] made her first trip of the year, with a run to Walgreens, K-Mart, and No Thrills. I was reminded that a turbo-4 is not a V8, you got to wind it a little. I celebrated the success with a grape soda and fruit pie.....

I took the studded snow tires off my 78 yesterday, cleaned up the carburetor (which was actually very clean after six months of neglect), and fixed my loose clutch pedal.
