Don't tell the authorities....

But the tina runs, drives and stops! after waiting damn near 3 weeks to get the rear brakes shoes relined, finally had the chance to install them today after work. With the brakes sorted, I was able to borrow my brothers Snap-On cordless impact gun (every tool chest should have one!) and installed the rear Koni shocks!

Got it all started, warmed up, put the car in gear and she moves under her own power! With a quick check to see if there were any police around, slowly backed the car up, put her in drive, and putted down the block.

I think I need to tune the carb a touch, since it seems like the motor gets enough air, but not enough fuel. Then when I have the chance, it's off to the DMV to get her registered and insured, and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I'll be crusin' in my tina come this summer!

Wahoo?
