There is joy in the land. I finally made the time to properly troubleshoot the Aspire. It was a bad fuel pressure regulator, $4 at U-Pull, and the thing starts and runs beautifully. This car is so ugly that it has to run really great.
I am waiting for parts for the VW. The motor is all apart on the bench and mostly in the way. I hope the bearing inserts and gaskets will be here today so I can get it to the roller/runner stage and drive it around a bit. Mother nature will not cooperate with snowless streets forever. Then I'll start the dent removal and painting on days when I have to be in the garage.
The other project is the ambulance painting for the Red Cross. The local chapter received an ambulance from Gold Cross in Rochester. Bill and I have removed all the GC labels and logos. We are going to paint the lower portion of the vehicle tomorrow afternoon. When the job is done the Goodhue County Red Cross will have a support vehicle to use as they need it.
UPS has arrived. I am off to the garage. Keep 'em running
