Finally back on the road after five months of work.
Running and handling brilliantly after five months of work… well, almost.
New RMS, IMS bearing, timing chain guides and tensioners, oil pressure sender, injectors, intake and exhaust lifters, valves, heads, and pistons clean, chromoly oil pump drive key, throwout bearing, all new gaskets and o-rings, cracked tail lights replaced, Bilstein B8s wearing H&R cabrio-specific lowering springs, H&R adjustable rear sway bar, silicone vacuum lines with brass fittings, spark plugs, control arms, aluminum passenger side floorboard to match the driver’s, headlights wet-sanded and PPF’d, everything detailed and ceramic’d.
Had a local hydraulic repair shop rebuild my clutch hose and it failed within 100 miles. Left me stranded hours from home but there’s nothing I can’t get done in a parts store parking lot.
