I'm a Leaf fan, but even I know that might be a while until that happens..LOL
I was surprised when the Leafs made it to the playoffs. Not surprised they didn't get passed round one. I guess I've got one more season to finish the car.

It has been a while since my project started. I'm going to try and keep the thread updated for a little bit longer.

The car is back in the shop ( another shop). Hopefully for the last time. I'm hoping to get her on the road before summers over. Fixing the last of the mechanical/ electrical and internal. Hopefully with no major headaches. She also has to go back to the body shop for some corrections in the future.

Here is what she looks like today. June 16,2017
Sorry the pictures are small. Having some difficulty with the laptop and I can't do anything with my tablet.

Quick update. Just added a new OER rad and electric fan to the car.

Just got some new rubber for the car. 235/60/15 on the front and 245/60/15 on the rear. Slowly she's coming together.

Now that the car is in its 4th shop, the work is finally getting done correctly. I had to put a new Edelbrock carb to replace the old worn out quodrajet. Ripped the old seats out and got them blasted and painted. Keeps your fingers crossed.

My apologies for the poor photos. I was being rushed.

I was at the shop today and noticed the headliner was installed. They didn't have all the pieces so this is how she sits now. Just have to wait for a few more parts to arrive.

Sorry you can't see much headliner.

So I went to see the car today. I was happily surprised to see the body shop was cleaning up some of the issues the previous shop had left or ignored. I'm definitely on the right path these days. Cam, there body shop expert is a real pro. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Nothing glamorous to look at today for you, but for me, seeing all the little flaws corrected was very satisfying.
