The saga has ended!

Hi Maniacs,
Today I posted two more pictures in the Mike Denman's project album.  
These pictures are the last of the series documenting the repair of 
the rear panel on my Marcos.  These pictures show the rear end painted 
and the lights and license plate installed.  So wake the "fat lady up, 
it time to sing!"  I hope the pictures have been instructive.  If you 
have any questions please feel free to ask.  While I am certainly not 
an "expert" I do "know my way around a resin can" well enough to 
comment on most things you might be tempted to try.  
My next project is changing the chrome wire wheels for Panasport 
"Mags".  I have already ordered all the parts which are due next week.  
I plan on weighing the various components to see what the net effect 
is on the "unsprung weight".
Yesterday I picked up a blower unit from the local auto wrecker that 
may be ideal for the Marcos.  The original blower was mounted up near 
the head lights with a large 3" tube that ran across the distributor 
to the heater.  It looked terrible and didn't work very well.  I'm 
hoping this new unit can be adapted where it is hidden and will push 
more air.  we shall see.  if it works out I will take some pictures. 
Today I had the Marcos out for a drive.  The weather in the San 
Francisco Bay area was crystal clear with a little bit of fall chill 
in the air.  I ended the drive by adjusting the valves and the timing.  
Both were a little bit off.
