It is really incredible the amount of difference the reduced rear axle tends to make Within this automobile above Eleanor (TC5624). She is quicker and much more pleasurable to travel, and her brakes are a great deal greater. I might have to Chunk the bullet and have those Alfin drums for Eleanor. $1200 or better a established, but They can be a huge advancement.
 It can be over the upper floor, not the facet, so somebody will need to have dragged a thing heavy and sharp over it. I suppose it absolutely was inevitable When you've got a good deal of folks throughout a vehicle, but it was even now disappointing. I'll really need to see if Steve can fix it.
 Rather Curiously, the hero in the piece is often a Design A Ford, whilst the villain is a contemporary Rolls. I believe I was more offended which the drawing of 'Mr. Greyhair' appeared a good deal additional like me than that of the younger mechanic! I really need to get Wildflower's starter alongside one another - I are actually holding for the new MGB exhaust donut to augment the flat copper exhaust manifold gasket, but have it on hand now.
November 19, 2010 - Wildflower showed off at the Portsmouth Vacation Open Property tonight - a bunch within the Tidewater Area AACA furnished a classic vehicle Display screen in the middle of things to do. Getting there wasn't 50 percent the fun, while. As a result of mishaps all over the place, we wound up in bumper-to-bumper targeted visitors for about an hour or so (as well as TC doesn't HAVE bumpers!). She took it all in fantastic stride, but I noticed the steering felt odd. We build from 5 pm right until 9 pm, with a fantastic a number of antique motor vehicles. The TC acquired filmed via the local TV information crew and gained lots of seems to be from the passers-by. On just how residence, I realized the car had made extreme play during the steering. I have checked the steering box ahead of and found no Engage in in the slightest degree. I am going to need to test it out tomorrow.
 That was topped off with roofing paper and thirty-calendar year shingles. With the leaks preset, I entirely emptied the garage out, scrubbed the floor, and commenced about. As well as adding a fresh rack of shelving for sections packing containers, I put up several of Wildflower's art and automobilia. The garage is now dry, cleanse, and much nicer searching.
Might 29, 2009 - All dressed up and somewhere to go - It's been a frantic week, by having an unanticipated enterprise excursion to Seattle taking on loads of time I'd hoped to spend in closing cleanup. Bought back late Wednesday evening, and went around yesterday to get the trailer. Buddy and fellow TC-er Richard Corridor went with me to have the trailer and gave the TC a glance about after we got again to my property. Then he declared that she was NOT Driving to Gettysburg around the open up trailer.
 We experienced an incredible trip house using the Jamestown Ferry site link and back streets. This was the first long trip I've taken Wildflower on given that her freeze plug and head gasket troubles, and she executed flawlessly.Â
March eleven, 2012 - Back out to Richard's these days to complete up TC5908's top. We obtained the hidem strip mounted and the top bow straps secured with bolts. The very best appears to be like actually fantastic - we benefitted from expertise Placing on TC5308's top rated 3 decades back. Guess we didn't ignore it all!Â
 I included chrome steel flat and lock washers to all 4 bolts, tightened factors down, and now Have a very nice, constant 800 RPM idle! I also got the rear wheels and fender wells cleaned up, together with the spare and gasoline tank straps. Just require to obtain the new tire mounted for the correct front and end cleanup right before future Sunday's Classics about the Green Exhibit in New Kent, VA.
 Although they have been unable to make is vanish, the oldsters at Safelite in Hampton did an awesome task of cleaning items up. I place the windshield back again in and began cleanup to the display. It will rain tomorrow, leaving me just Friday night immediately after get the job done to scrub and polish. Then It is really again to Willilamsburg for the GOF!
May perhaps 31, 2010 - Within the highway yet again! I essentially took the vehicle out for a short operate very last weekend, but right now I put in excess of one hundred miles on the vehicle. The requisite trip to Richard's, naturally, followed by a operate even further out during the boonies to go to close friends I have never viewed in a while.
 I just acquired in a whole new tonneau address from eBay to interchange the sick-fitting one that came with her. It has bugged me for 5 a long time - time to deal with it. The brand new a single is an NOS Moss Motors product or service Using the snaps to get put in. I'll try out to acquire out to Richard's this weekend to find out if we could possibly get it done.
 Indeed, I needed to DRILL HOLES in Wildflower! Just minimal types, and so they came out good. But it absolutely was traumatic utilizing a punch on your body panels, and even more so watching the drill bit Reduce into steel. We put in the fasteners separately, removing the tonneau every time and reinstalling following to be certain everything lined up. Our care was rewarded having a very nice set up that stayed on After i drove Wildlfower house at sixty MPH to the Interstate tonight (37 levels - Brrrr). On the side Observe, we labored on Richard's TD following the tonneau was done. It started out operating terribly particularly a yr back following a extended drive and Richard has tried using new spark plugs, wires, cap, environment points, new gasoline filters, and many others. We identified the needle valve inside the back carb was stuck plus the bowl was bone dry. Soon after cleaning the needle valve, the vehicle begun appropriate up and ran great!
 Terry and Sue have already been doting on Eleanor and she showed it - as well as took to start with place for the T-series class overall! Whilst Wildflower might have most popular being first herself, she was joyful to view her young sister shine equally practically and figuratively right now. (While her human had to suffer numerous feedback regarding how he 'sold the wrong TC').Â
