In 2017 I ruined a main bearing. While the motor was out I decided to rebuild the transmission and switch the drum brakes to disc brakes. At the time I was single and had friends around to help so everything went great until last year. My friends got busy, I got engaged, and I bought a house. Between working on the house and preparing for a wedding I haven’t had a single afternoon free in months. Engine is back in the car, transmission is back in, brakes are mounted but it has no plumbing. I made the call this morning to a friend to see if he has room in his shop to knock it out. This may not seem like a big deal but I wrestled with this for months, I haven’t had anyone else touch this car in 10 years without me there. I hate taking half finished stuff to anyone but it’s killing me to have the car sitting and not getting attention. I don’t really know why I’m making this post but this is the hardest decision I’ve made in the 15 years I’ve owned the car.
