John,
Don't feel bad, I have spent about seventeen years working on my 1964
Spitfire. My son and I had just rebuilt the carbs, did a major tune up,
had my seats re-upholstered, got the electrical problems straightened
out. Re-built the shift linkage, installed new cluth, new heater control
valve, new hoses, new gen., rebuilt both m/cs, installed all new weather
stripping, new carpet, a killer stereo system, repainted the engine,
engine compartment, front suspension and polished the chrome and
aluminum. Took it out for a test drive and had the differential go
south on me. This was in March, found a used diff and after a sevier
case of ship wright's I am waiting for a trunnion bushing set and the
spring plate studs to arrive to get it back together. Heck I can't even
sit in it to pretend, with the rear end sitting on jack stands, but any
day now it will be back on the road( I've been saying that for a few
years now;-).
Hang in there,guy. It'll all be worth it in the end.
