Well, we do need to rebuild her steering rack, replace all her bushings and
ball joints, install and wire up a Veglia 260 degree water temp gauge, and
a bunch of other things on her car. Fortunately for me, I've got a fly-in
mechanic, in the form of French Pantera owner (and ace mechanic) Stephane
Bergeron. He's been flying to San Francisco once or twice a month for the
past couple of months (he's a pilot for Air France). When he comes here, he
stays at my house and we just fix cars for about 12 hours straight!
Besides dealing with the Pantera's issues, the Cobra is set for a clutch
master cylinder swap, a Scirocco is going to get a heater/blower fan revamp,
etc. etc. He lands Jan 6th and departs the 8th, then comes back again on
the 31st and departs the 2nd of Feb. I hope to have all these issues (and
many more) dialed in by then. :>)
