Boing!

Spring has sprung! A long, dark and cold winter is now over. The forest is busting with new leaf, and sunshine and 60+ days are now becoming common. Time to go to work.

The shop is somewhat organized (I can at least find my tools) and the Honda frame is now strapped down to its assembly bench. There is one nice sunny day (today) but next week is predicted to be free of spring rain, so we’ll get rolling in a few days.

Right now, my new summer car gets the last two items repaired, a tie-rod end and new U-joints. I don’t look like much but it is the best handling car I’ve owned since I let go of its big brother the 510 about 25 years ago.

1979 Datsun 210

A real ‘sleeper’ of a car. Purrs like a kitten, handles like a slot car, and new sound system installed with custom wood speaker boxes under the rear package deck. Slap in a cassette, open the sun roof and cruise the backroads. Yippee !!!
