Well July was fun but I did almost nothing with the Cobra. Last month we celebrated Jacob’s and my birthdays. It was Jacob’s first and my 30th. Woot! Don’t feel a day over 39!
Finally got to work on the engine again over the weekend. I basically put the valve covers and the oil pan back on after cleaning them up. TIP: Don’t flip the engine upside down unless you have a couple of buckets underneath it. I found out the hard way that there is quite a bit of coolant left in it! After buttoning things back up I stood back and it didn’t look too bad. It still needs a little more scrubbing and a coat of paint but it’s almost there. I can actually see the light at the end of the engine cleaning tunnel.
Picked up some rotors and bearings from stinky Trak Auto. I normally hate shopping there but this time I managed to get the rotors on sale. I’m very happy about that! I’m going to find someone to help me pack the bearings and then on the car they go. I’m so close to having a roller it’s making me itchy. And only a year and a half after picking up the kit!
The last couple of weeks have been hot, hot, hot. It was 90+ degrees for more than 20 days in July. It finally broke today. It was absolutely beautiful outside. About 82 degrees and breazy. Nice clear sky, couple of wisps of clouds here and there, very blue. It’s days like this that make me dream about having a place on the beach. Mostly I thought about how nice it would be to be driving the Cobra. Bittersweet. I really have to get this thing on the road…
