More Progress...

2017-06-25-engine-installing5 — It was a productive evening yesterday.

My wife spent her second-birthday helping me in the garage (The 25th of June is the day of her bombing .. she says it was like a whole new life after that). She's a great help; she does any task asked without complaint. I couldn't ask for a better co-mechanic!

It's late, so I'll make this short. We made good progress today. We installed the vacuum holding tank, installed the passenger seat, bled the brakes, rewired some of the frayed wires, connected the transmission and engine, and slid the power train back into place. Now we just have to re attached some wires, hoses, and tighten a few things and we'll get to test it. Here are a few
