[Monkeyboy]

I decided to take it off the market - there's just no way I can let this thing go.

WHEW! At least you discovered that before the sale

The Next Step:

1. Completely overhaul braking system

2. Learn how to rebuild rochester carb

3. Finish replacing window tracking

I guess that's more like, 3 steps isn't it?

Glad your not selling it I plan getting to gather with you on my way through to the Maya rally. I hope you can make it down to Mexico.

Oh yeah! Series convoy baby!

In other words, today, Ralph wouldn't go into gear.

If I shut the engine off, it would go right into gear, however, when attempting to restart while in gear, with the clutch in, the vehicle moves as if the clutch is not fully disengaging, I'll be investigating, and I'm really hoping this isn't a transmission issue!

Fixed, it was a case of really, really bad brake fluid that had gotten so icky that it let a lot of air into the system from expansion.

It was amazing how much crud came out!

Anyways, all is back to normal now!

Don't know about you, but with my 109, it about being "normal enough". There is always SOMETHING!!!

You're a lot different than I pictured!

[MattScott]

Now I need to figure out where I'm going to take this badboy!

[MattScott]

Well, after rebuilding my front brakes and carb, I thought all was well, then I realized that I had cut a brake line somehow, I can't find an alternate number either.

but...

for those of you looking for alternate part numbers...
