### Update ###

Well after a few more months and more stupid problems, It looks like she is about ready for inspection. I have replaced almost every electrical switch I can replace. The bummer was that the first replacement turn signal kept grounding out on the steering wheel shaft. So I have another and she seems ready to go. I drove her around my neighborhood for about 40 minutes last Saturday, with no issues.

Ben, is the offer to go and meet Tim still good? I should be ready to go by this weekend...

More Pics coming soon...

Good to hear that Bonnie is nearing road worthy status. It sounds like you still need to have words with the P/O...LOL.
I need to see Tim. Been about two months since I was last over his way. The next few weeks are taken up but maybe we could head over later this month.

Well, the fuel pump started going south last week. (Thanks PO!!! Moron!) So I replaced it last Saturday and drove her around Saturday and Sunday and again this morning to the bus stop. She is driving great!
