Default Alive again, sort of

OK so the ZR is back on the road again with another new tranny and a new clutch master and slave cylinder and a hurst shifter. Felt good to rip the tires a bit tonight. Then it got dark and my headlight motors didn't want to work. One was going and now they are both toast. I guess I just can't win.

Glad to hear you've got her on the road again! Unfortunately, part of the deal when you own an aging car is dealing with the neccessary repairs that comes with time and use, talk to any of the C3 fellas! Chin up pisan!

Just when I got my car running well, the drivers side window died, then the heater core was leaking.

All will be fixed by next Spring.....then it starts all over again.

Well the car is going strong and I just installed my new brake setup tonight so I am just seating the brakes in as I went with C5 calipers up front and cross drilled and slotted rotors all round with hawk pads.
Tomorrow I repair the headlight motors.
