Ceramic tint done today. 35%. Front windshield has a clear ceramic tint to keep the heat out. Looks so much better. No more fish bowl.
before and after
Got the gen 2 MGW shifter installed today. Took about 5 hours. They werenāt kidding when they said there isnāt much room. Getting the rubber boot around the shifter mechanism was easily the worst part. Took it for a test drive afterwards, works perfectly. Very solid, precise shifts.
This is my first winter with her. Didnāt think unloaded suspension would be a big deal. Have restored plenty of cars that spent months to years with no engine in but those were much older. My garage isnāt heated so I was more worried about the cold temps and flat spotting them.
Iām pulling my wheels and placing them in wheel covers and storing them inside the house where it is warmer.
Is stabil recommended to be added? Iāve seen conflicting opinions on that.
My plan is to change the oil in the spring.
Anyone have any installation instructions or links to a video to install the adjustable strut top mounts? The dealer never installed them on my 19 R and who knows where they are now. Just picked up a new set but canāt find anything on the install. I reached out to the dealer and they also cannot...
Nieceās preschool was having a family car show. She asked if I would bring my āblue car.ā I donāt think many people knew what the car was. Majority of the cars were 1940s-1950s cars. A C5 Corvette with a Lightning McQueen windshield sun blocker was the kidsā favorite
I am imagining how that conversation would go with the wife... Do you have a spare bedroom in case she tells me to pound sand?
"sooooo, wingnutt suggests we move so I can drive the R year round, thoughts??"
Same. Picked up my 19 R beginning of July and have put 2k miles on it already. Love the car too much to let it sit. And soon it will be winter šš
