PROPOSED ROUTE
Please look this over and advise if anyone knows of potential headaches or issues with this proposed route. A nice 2 hour double loop with some room to stretch them out, etc.

Route looks great but why do we have to fill up on coffee and donuts before we get to your place? If money is that tight, I'll buy.  |

Friday night - air into the tires, check coolant, check oil, check brake fluid level, check clutch fluid level, check spark plug wires. Clean windshield, install radiator screen, block oil cooler. Bring phone, hat, sun screen, GPS, camera, ear plugs, jacket, driving gloves, money and wife.
I'm ready!

Sorry about that, Saturday makes it more likely we pull it off next weekend since we have a chance on Sunday if weather is iffy.
Soon we get into show season and with our new rig we have to use it or loose it.

Car is going slower than I would like. I might have it good enough for a ride, but it is not looking good. just not enough time for anything any more. This week is packed with all kinds of stuff. We shall see, sounds like a great run...I don't want to miss it

Wow, I really appreciate the offer, but I would never ask unless I was desparate.
Finish up the rear caliper/ Ebrake install, reinstall carb, fix leaking clutch slave line, Break tie rod apart measure and reinstall(I want to order a bump steer kit this week). Besides bleeding all the lines, lots of ebrake tweeking, general cleaning and unwinterizing....that is what I need to do
Time is such a commodity these days!
Did I mention that I absolutely HATE the jag rear braking system!!!

Dave,
I have a mushtang as well. 89lx that I've been tinkering with. Think I have a bad lifter so the top end is apart (again) waiting for parts. I feel your pain man!

If we can get one person to handle donuts and one to handle coffee we are all set. That allows me to get the other stuff handled so we can depart promptly.
