[6pack] So quiet

[Richard Lindsay]

Hello friends,
   As Alex wrote, it is really quiet here. Perhaps this new flu has muted
our comments. Or maybe it's just quelled our desire to talk cars. I know I
have not felt much like twisting spanners....and I was supposed to be on a
cruise in Australia starting yesterday! Key words: supposed to be.
   I started my TR6 yesterday and it fired right up and idled perfectly.
That is, until it ran out of gas. I had put only a gallon of fuel in the
freshly reconditioned tank.
   My car is mostly done, with a little bit to be undone. A couple of
carpet bits on the driver's sill are yet to be cemented down and the
upholstered bulkhead in front of the fuel tank waits to be attached. Doors
and kick panels also need to be assembled.
   My efforts have been focused on the seats. Re-upholstery is time
consuming especially if left half done in anticipation of a holiday! I need
to get back to work on that! And I need to remove the seat back upholstery
from one seat for a re-do. The underlying foam is distorted in a place or
two. That's the re-do.
   I was given a set of four, 72 spoke wires with hub adapters and
knockoffs! My car has the more practical alloy slotted mags. They are
freshly powder coated and shod with new tires. I have found a source for
hub adapters that will fit my Volvo 1800E project car, so I may fit it with
these wires (and three-ear knockoffs, of course).
   I hope this note maybe fills a void and more importantly, I hope it
finds you healthy and well provisioned.

Rick, in far northwest Houston
