I know I said I was going to be a lurker but I just couldn't do it any longer.

I am happy to say that after two weekends and a multitude of set backs my Blue 90' is running! Running roughly but running nonetheless.

When we started the engine was out of the bay and sitting behind the slider door. So it was a pretty major surgery. However, many hours, a temporary pieced together accelerator cable, new fuel lines, several fabricated pieces, and a new starter later I was able to drive it the 200 miles back home. I even have a part from Joy's Matilda in my van now.

A big thank you to list members Brien Dews, Billy Hirt, Dave (sorry Dave I don't know your last name). Your generosity, Knowledge, patience, and guidance is much appreciated.

-- Thanks,

Jeff 90' Carat (It's Blue, It's Beautiful, It's naked inside - IT'S ALIVE!) 86' (We call this one Parts) 85' GL (Sidelined and feeling neglected)
