I hate winter

So, it's been cold here for the past several months. Like, really cold - too darn cold to do anything to my car. So it's just been sitting in the garage. Sigh.

I did make it to the London Cobra Show in June 2010 but not in my FFR. I went in our family car because the FFR wasn't ready. I won't be driving it this year either even if it is ready due to other obligations.

The weather has been nice for the past couple of days though and I've started tinkering about again. It appears that I need to pull the intake manifold as it's leaking oil at the rear seal and the thermostat housing is misting coolant. At least I can knock both of those out at one time and I hope I won't have to fool with them again.

In other news, I've ordered 4" Peep side mirrors from Speedway Motors and a hidden body mount kit from Breeze Automotive. I also made a bracket for the interior rear view mirror to mount it on top of the windshield instead of screwing it on to the body.

That's about it for now. Maybe I'll have updates worth posting in the near future. We'll see how Mother Nature treats me.
