YESSS! I'm sitting here at work Monday morning pinching myself. The GT6 garage queen has been perched atop jackstands for over two years.
Yesterday, my birthday, as a reward for myself hitting the half century mark, she roared to life and careened around the neighborhood for a good ten minutes! Yee haa! (And I do mean roared-- that Rimmer sport exhaust sings a sweet tune!) I think I'll farm out the coolant leak behind the water pump-- I just don't feel like dealing with that myself now. For the rest, the 3rd speed gear's synchro isn't working; I think the baulk ring has probably frozen onto the cone. I hope a few heat cycles will free it. And there's a curious momentary binding in the steering, I'm guessing the head of a bolt is banging onto some frame structure. It's not unsafe, but isn't "right" either. H*ll, I'm gonna drive it now and fix that next winter-- along with all the body work. This now can truly be called a "rolling restoration." See you on the road!
