#1 All tucked up for winter !
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2022 5:44 pm
We have been fortunate with the mild weather recently down here on the Island, but things are about to turn, so yesterday - 1st December (!) - I have never left it that late, I took the car out for a final run in 2022 before any potential salt gets put on the roads.
I needed to turn the car around as the winter jobs are focussed around dropping the sump to check the seal around the main bearing cap, plus finally fitting the Pontiac Fiero fan I have had for the past 5 years - as with things improving we hope to use the car a bit more next year for touring trips.
After the run and as the sump was coming off - plus to get the old oil out over the winter - that was drained. Wheels removed as usual and all laid up today. Before anyone asks, although I have the updated high angle track rod ends, I still like to take some weight off them with the outer axle stands.
Now the work begins !
How’s everyone else doing with their winter plans ?
Cheers,
Dave
