Re: First drive of 2016
That's great. News said it was warm there yesterday.
I'm going to swap out a front hub and do a bit of welding on the exhaust hanger and I should be good to go, except we have daffodils out now

Ah yes, your car sounds great.
I got mine out too, here on the island of Manotick! After new timing belt, and upgrading to a 34 adf carb upgrade, and 4-2 mani this winter 'Been was chomping at the bit! Hoping this weather holds up.

Re: First drive of 2016
Ah yes - I remember those mid-March weather teaser days from our brief time in Ottawa many years ago. Just as we thought Spring had sprung - wham - freezing rain, or another huge dump of snow. If I recall correctly, Spring lasted for about a day sometime in May....
Nice to get out anyway, Jay. You gotta get them when you can. We're in the midst of monsoon conditions out here on the left (wet) coast!

I am jealous, I wanted to take mine out but I first need to replace my head gasket. I was hoping I would not have to do this project until next winter
