That sounds like a fair test, another job ticked off.
As for the Perrier, I think that is an eastern states thing.

Maybe Pinto drinks it, but my crowd just seem to like the water in beer. Me, I just drink rain water after tea has been added

Ours always goes down Nassi. Where does yours go?

They send all theirs to Canberra .........

Wish we could send the buggers back where they came from.

Not unless you can get it with CC,.. anyway all they seem to drink over in Wait A while is wife basher....
but maybe wannabe Hairdressers quaff Perrier, who knows.......

Oh, they are a touchy lot; those east coast boys.

Replaced the windshield washer pump with another one that was tested and now the relay works. When I push on the pump the wipers work.

Another one off the list!

The last 10% takes 90% of the time ........

Amen Kerry!

I ran an estimate from my notes on total hours for the entire project to date and it is around 2,900 hours.

That includes research time, relearning time, scratching my head time, ordering parts, running parts down and all physical labor.

It took an average of 16 hours from stamping the floor pan to driving the car off the line.

Not having a thousand workers and a whole production line does slow one down a little .......

They must have had better quality control. I am surprised they don't have more issues on the assembly line.

I think at least 1/4 up to 1/3 of the 2900 hours was trouble shooting and fixing replacement parts - fitting rear quarters, floor pan, running down electrical issues, rebuilding rebuilt parts (power brake booster for example). Not to mention taking things back apart to fix an issue (leaking intake manifold gasket replaced 3 times, etc.).

So I came dangerously close to Ryan's rule of restoration #2 - I don't want to know what I spent on the project for plausible deniability to the wife. AND I didn't want to cry last night. ?

Rule #1 - You don't want your wife to know what you spent is still in effect - thank goodness!

Rule #3 - save all receipts in case you need to sell and can tell the IRS you didn't make any money on the car.

OK so got the car out for a couple of photos with the fall colors of the maple trees.

[nassi]

Very nice.

[Dwayne]

Nice photos.

Did you get the car out much this summer?

[Nuts]

Looks Great Ryan. Love the colour..

[ozbilt]

Great shots Ryan.

For all you guys over here in Australia, Fall is the greatest driving time in the USA. The colors (US spelling) are breathtaking.

[Pinto-Pete]

Looking good Ryan,... so if you sold your car for a profit rule 3 is invoked..? that sucks.
