Well, there's a whole list of things I'd like to give my Euro TD. But the most likely tp happen before Christmas is replacing the PO-installed, spastic CD-radio, with a "90s-vintage Blaupunkt cassette-radio.

Happy Motoring, Mark

I have a spare injection pump now so I may put it on so the car runs decently while I calibrate the HiPo pump that's on there now. So the car will get the gift of smooth running!

I gave mine remote start so it can warm up a bit during the long cold Canadian winters (we haven't had yet). Seriously, its not even below freezing here.

It doesn't matter if you know what you're doing, as long as you look like you know what you're doing.

Hmm well I might give the tarpaulin that's covering it a shake and look to see if it is now full of water...

@layback40 dusty and hot indeed! You don't know how lucky you are...

The Light Ivory with Palomino 300D is getting an engine/transmission swap between 12/26 - 12/31.

Hopefully, the 87 Champage 300SDL is getting a new idler.

And, if there is time left, the Light Ivory with Henna Red 300D will be getting some maintenance "attention" --- just a start of the bringing it up to speed.
