It’s a beautiful day in SE Michigan. I’m finally getting back to my Project Car, are you?

Not yet. I’m waiting to move in to my new garage to start in. It’s going to be really nice to live at the same location that the car does. I will have to a little work on it before moving it since my dad told me that one of the (new) tires went flat and won’t hold air. That means a trip to Discount Tire.

My Corvair is pissing excellence, and shitting literal shit. “Genuine barn find” I’m de-barning it as we speak. (desert creatures, bigger than mice)

At least it’s definitely not mice (on the bright side)

I need to acquire my project car first....and a permanent job to allow it’s upkeep and a place to store it before that. :(

I would love to, but as I still live at home at the moment, I am not sure how much mom would appreciate it.

Mines sitting in Michigan patiently waiting for me! I bought it in January and I will get to put my hands on it in a few weeks. Cleaning out my garage now to make room for it in North Dakota

My grandfather’s is up on jacks because I wanted to redo the traction bars. His Mustang’s alternator just died as well.

Definitely! The issue is I would feel bad storing it outside (no garage here) and they rust pretty easily. :(

I just took off my fan shroud and found a giant piece of stick in there. No telling how long that’s been there.

Swapped out my tan leather seats for lower-maintenance black cloth seats. The cloth seats are a little dirty but they’re going to be re-upholstered later this summer. The new trunk with the factory spoiler will go on as soon as I figure out how to disconnect the harness from the trunk lights.

It’s getting less project-ish now a days but yes I just took it out from hibernation yesterday and power steering leak seems to be gone; no CEL; some suspension noises, a wonky window, and gotta find a decent muffler shop to help with attaching it a bit better than what I did
