I didn't ask for a racehorse, just wanted a quite reliable cruiser and therefore built the car close to stock.
Well, obviously I asked for too much, after around 250mls of test drives the result is quite sobering. The allegedly rebuilt radiator has a little leak, the alternator needed replacement, the new transmission neutral safety switch, which came with the rebuilt kit leaks through the switch, the new ignition coil leaks oil too. Apart from a few nice rides, this is very disappointing and means back to the table again. Especially annoying is that all those Mexican and Chinese junk parts mostly don't fit nor last one season. I wonder when people will wake up and restart to manufacture quality parts in their home country - I would definitely pay for quality.
I had already plans for an AC system, but with all those issues I am back to the basics.
