December 31, 201014 yr comment_340290 1. Tackle a few small rust repairs. 2. Rebuild the transmission (?) 3. Rebuild the brakes, not that they're not working, but because they're probably due, and they're important. 4. Replace semi-rusty hard lines (fuel, brakes) with stainless. 5. Do less work and more enjoying. (Might not be possible this year.) 6. Get my car under cover. 7. Have a shorter resolutions list a year from now.

December 31, 201014 yr comment_340301 Getting the twins finished. Have all of the parts now for the newly painted car and it is in the garage. The original car just needs the rest of the bugs exterminated from setting for 19 years. Hopefully by June 1!

Somehow fix the small oil leak on the fuel pump. it's small but keeps blowing oil onto the motor and passenger side fender, frame rail, firewall and a few other things.4*.

December 31, 201014 yr comment_340324 Nothing too grandiose - just finish the total restoration and have it sorted out and back on the road by May! - The car is still at the painter, the four month estimate is now 6 months and counting, but - at least it got painted Christmas week. - The engine rebuild is complete. - Suspension rebuild is complete, front and rear. - All interior components are on hand except new carpet. - Most of the engine bay bits are on hand. Hope my timeline is doable!

December 31, 201014 yr comment_340328 Well, gettin older each year and with Gods grace i'm just so happy to still be here and see another new year, and enjoy it today with our son, his wife and their 16 month old baby girl. I have three weeks to finish the paint repair on my 240 so we can take it to the annual car show in our town. Quite a big deal, with all the gate takings going to charity, so thats good. Is the snow melting for you guys yet? I would love to see a white Christmas.
