Car fixed... Breaking in the clutch with normal city driving... The flywheel turned out to be aluminum so they were not able to re surface... Not ideal... but hopefully next year during engine swap, I'll just get another clutch and flywheel... Looks like the car has an oil leak bellow... not sure where its coming from, but if it can just hold out one more year :)
Metal flange holding in one spring broke...
Went out for my usual Sunday morning drive… Coming back home my clutch went out ??? Would not go into any gear… pedal felt strange pushing it in… any-hoot … lucky I was at an intersection will cellular service… Called AAA... Car back home safely…
not much going on.... still taking her out in the Angeles Forest drives... drives well... I bought a cherry picker and engine stand ... going to have Brant bring the engine over here... who knows how long it will be before I can afford the install.. ??? what if Brant has a heart attack and I have to convince his alcoholic dad who Ive never met that the engine is mine plus random other parts ... it would be a nightmare... anyways... in case I haven't already posted this link before: https://mr2wiki.com/domains/mr2wiki.com/AllModels/WorldwideProductionNumbers?fbclid=IwAR0wzArYAe9JaRrzoAXDlIiPpDjrpgOebMFUHBkh85hw20VJKcbjfenr5D0
