Me and my nephew Chandler went to the September Cars & Coffee event. We took the Alpha car to show it off - to try to help sell it, with fliers on the windshield. The car ran, looked and sounded better than ever before! Really hate to see this car go...
Big thanks to Matt and Dave for helping me clean up the car and pump fluid into the trans (why is this always such a messy job?!) on Friday. Been working on it off and on for the last week but still left a little bit to do this morning (which turned into 2 hours worth of work!). Somehow we still made it to the show by 8:30. C&C is getting crowded, earlier and earlier - had to park on the outside end of a row to get a spot.
The car now has the new TR6060 transmission and shortened driveshaft as well as a new shifter arrangement. Everything worked perfectly after ~6 weeks of being apart - hooked up the battery, it fired right up and drove onto the trailer. We trailered it near the car show and then drove it in.
Chandler had a good time and hammed it up for the pics
The crowd really liked the car and kept it covered most of the morning. It was the loudest car there, me thinks, and I tried to keep it under 1500 rpm the entire time we were inside the show. When we left we put on a nice audio display, though...
Pimp my riiiiiiiiiiiiiide yo!
