It's alive, it's alive, lol. Drove her home from the mechanics, she has never ran better.
The airdam will be put on again and I will get back to playing with rear aero, and some side skirts.

I forgot how much fun this car is to drive!
This tank is going to be horrid I am sure. Going to try to get my side window in tomorrow, and a airdam on.
Then I need some more materials and make a partial kam, disguised as a hatch shade, lol.

Lexan is good. Since it's more resistent to impacts, I'm considering to get all the windows of the vehicle I'm going to get (probably a T2 Volkswagen station-wagon) replaced with Lexan, so in case of an attempted theft the burglar would break a hand instead of breaking a window |

Me too.Fuel laying in the intake manifold had evaporated leaving a tar-like residue which was inducted into intake ports,coating the valve stems such that they stuck in the guides.The valve springs couldn't compensate for the resistance and I had all 4 pistons kissing all 4 intake valves.Very scary!
I've pulled the head,disassembled,and cleaned it.Perhaps by Monday I'll have 'life' again.
Don't ya just love IC technology?

Yeah plus it is half the weight of glass.
