    Time flies. Re-reading last year’s post, so many of the “really need to get to…” items remain as such. At least my kitchen is done. The ’64 Falcon just plods along, but with a growing number of minor nags. The Wagoneer pisses me off on a regular basis, but makes for good videos. The kitchen…

    The Project Car State of the Union rolls around again, and the last time I introduced you to my humble, burgundy Sierra. I had just recently gotten it, as it was last summer, and I wanted a RWD car for the winter again. This post won’t tell you much of anything about the Sierra. Well,…

    So, I’m at a predicament. I bought this car on a whim, if you recall (part 1, part 2). Since then, and since the first update, I have dumped a ton of money into it and hardly drove it. I still live in a downtown Boston high-rise building where parking is pricey, I walk to work or drive whatever…

    [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsGu5D0XqDo[/youtube] My journey of wrenching exploration continues with HoonTruck. Queue the cartoon cat because I feel like I take a step forward, and then I wind up two steps back. Regardless, it’s been an enjoyable process learning how to “fix” things on the truck, and I’ve not been demoralized to a point where I’d ever…

    Okay, can I see a raise of hands here, who likes wagons? Yep, that looks like most of you. Well, I do too. Not only that but I’ve always been somewhat keen on the boxiest of wagons – Volvos. This 1998 Volvo V90 is the latest edition to the menagerie, and its purchase was remarkably…

    There are two purposes for this update on my 240Z; the first is to bring you up to speed on what has been going on with the car, the second is to brag about how big my garage is. Both the updates and the bragging (not too much really) begin right after the jump.

  • Project Car SOTU: Project Audinary ON THE ROAD! (For Now)

    Last time we spoke I was, well, probably doing everything entirely the wrong way. The front end was all off, the cambelt tensioner had de-tensioned itself in a fairly spectacular way, and some umming and ahh-ing was going down, accompanied by mammoth quantities of tea and swearing. And to be honest it carried on like…

    Roadblocks are aplenty in my build… the years it’s taken to get this far are sure to make that abundantly clear. But nevertheless we are making progress on my 1968 Twin-Turbocharged Eleanor GT500 and it should be fit for road duty soon. As you will see from the video (posted after the jump), the main issue…
