ZIPPY LIVES!
 

I've driven the 45 miles up to Cali-ti's place four times in order to work on my car. thanks to the people on this forum i had a bunch of parts to install before driving my car. today i buttoned up the project and started it for the first time in almost 3 years! the car ran smooth with an awesome idle. i put it in gear and backed it out of the garage...drove it about one half mile before returning to the house. i took some pictures and parked it back inside of the garage.
two problems popped-up. coolant over-flow tank has a small leak...and the transmission needs more fluid (or it's dying!). lol
those will be fixed here soon. but, Zippy's Alive!!!

looks great man! Such a long time coming, and a car with a great story~!

Looks GREAT :cool:

Yeah!!! Zippy goes zipping about once more!

Hope the trans is not dying, but if it is, that just means it's time for a manual swap :)

:lalala:

You would think that after 41 LOOOONNNNGGG months in the clink the only 3 letter word on Sean's mind would be SEX...but NO it's CAR! :evil_lau:

Thinking I should I start a new thread called What did you do to your wife today? :eyebrow:

^^^ SEAN! WHAT ARE(nt) YOU DOING BRO??? :eek:

Quit working on your car and get home and work on your wifey:_pelvic2:

^ LOL

Congrats man she looks good!

Oh, no... Sean, I think it could be time for an intervention...

It's too late now to switch teams, so make some time for a little sweet Cindy Lou lovin... Zippy will understand, I promise.. He'll be patient.

hey, I didn't get to a garage of 3 BMWs by spending time on women :lol: sorry Cindy :tongue:

congrats Sean, glad to see Zippy back on the road again :biggrin:

Congrads Sean!!!

rotflmao
leave it to Cindy Lou to stir the pot! she's just looking for some sympathy...trust me when i say i take care of the cars and wifey.

i found that there is a rubber gasket ring at the bottom of the expansion tank where the leak is located. so this might be a cheap fix...even after paying $5.00 for the part and $5.50 for shipping...for a little rubber ring!

thanks to all for the kind words...even Cindy Lou!

Looks Good Sean!

Congrats breh
