Learning to let go is also a crucial skill I’m trying to develop.
I do plan to drive it a few hundred miles at least to sort it and make it right. I think that’ll be enough.
Then it’s probably going on Bring a Trailer with a lower reserve than I will be comfortable with.
Bridget is my forever plastic clown car.
Update on the Spyder build, for any interested.
The hood closes, the battery is in, and the fuel tank (which is very special) is coming in for a landing.
I continue to make slow progress on most days. Thank you for your support in this difficult time.
Progress… I like it!!

"Drive Happy"Car is aligned, the ride height is set.
Updates:
Of course after I got the car perfectly aligned I discovered that I’d assembled the clutch without a crucial part.
So it goes. Cory Drake (he with the Swiss Army Speedster) came up to help pull the engine and transaxle out, and I ordered the $22 clutch collar I actually had one of back when I put the Suby in Bridget (that time, I tried to install the clutch with this part, which on that application was wrong, necessitating a re-do.)
Damed if I do, damned if I don’t!
Here’s the dang thing that I was missing. Of course I couldn’t find it in the shop, even though I know darned well I never throw anything away.
Here’s Cory joyfully celebrating the removal of my drivetrain last Saturday:
So the new part came and I put the engine back together, along with some upholstery work. Which was also a PIA.
You can read all about that here.
And thank you once again for your support.
