Started on my front cannards. Going with carbon wrapped thin ply instead of alloy (save a bit more weight). So far so good..

Took a little break today. Set the ignition timing and fiddled around with the idle screw. Still whirring around 2.3k with the screw backed off all the way. Carb spray vac leak check. Seems the brake booster hose is the main culprit. It's getting a fresh batch of spaghetti later this week. All original hoses!

Made a final decision on the red 93 I wrecked... It's gonna be a field buggy!
Still debating on keeping the blue 92. Too much going on, need to downsize projects and stuff.

Came back from snowmobiling, left the trailer on and also left the whole
set up at the bottom of the hill, a dead end but easy into the house. The end
of a nice sunny day, clear roads, perfect!
Last night it snowed and I might be stuck down there!!

'93 Turquoise.
No hurry though, as the manifold stud and down pipe have been that way for years!

New windshield, changed oil and filter
Need to replace exhaust manifold (broken down pipe stud), and down pipe (broken down pipe to cat flange).
While at it, need to replace all four struts!

Pieced together an exhaust using what I had left on the parts car. Started working on brake lines but they're rusting bad in several spots so I'll be yanking those off the parts car. Reset the valve timing. It was off by quite a bit. Put the straight white hood that came with the car on. Beat out the top bar so the hood latch lined up again. Tranny fluid change, a good pressure wash and general underbody inspection. It's gonna need some bushings up front and some of the other usual work. Runs good, but needs some tuning. It drove surprisingly well minus no brakes. What a busy day. Hitting it again tomorrow since I'm off work...

Mended the rear defrost, the switch needed to be unplugged and plugged back in, then everything worked fine. Praised the car gods for favorably shining upon me

Cleaned it up. My "new-to-me" Aspire that is!I picked it up yesterday for the brake/suspension swap. For $350, I'm surprised how well it drives.
