She moved on her own

Longhorn Man · 12-19-2004, 08:22 PM

Well... no burn outs. The rear brakes are totally crapped out, and the front brakes grab like a mo-fo. And with the ice and snow on the ground, it makes for interesting driving.
I DID drive it about 1/4 mile down the road...just blipping the throttle in first gear, probably never topped 5 MPH (don't know, the speedo doesn't work) Seems pretty responsive, revs easily, starts easily...a little blueins smoke out the pipes, but it has been dormant for 5 or 6 years...I've seen them clear up a bit after driving and a couple oil chainges.
It was awsome.

Gratz Andy, good job. A little time and a little tweeking and some major brake work I'm sure she'll be fine. Bet it felt good to drive her again, if only a short distance.
