Philosophy, poetry, and musings from the WTFery Institute. A think tank, working to solve the problem of thoughts trapped in the mind.
WTFery Garage said goodbye to the Mini Cooper this morning, probably at a stupid low price but with oil in the cooling system and small puffs of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, I would just be throwing money at it with potential for nothing but negative returns. So, the garage will spend time and resources on the 1969 Chevy truck instead since I enjoy working on old school vehicles more. Of course after rebuilding the transmission and cleaning up 47 year old gaskets it isnt going to be easy by any means.
I just need for nothing else to break at this point, since I just had to replace a water heater Friday at what was my parents house. Not sure where I will find the funds to replace all of the ruined flooring but one disaster at a time and right now I need the transportation more than the flooring. The dogs dont seem to care about the floor and I will be months getting all of the glue stripped up so, I think it will be ok on the back burner.
Well I finally was able to finish the transmission this past weekend, Still have a long way to go on the truck it goes in before it is drive-able. Got to enjoy a month of driving the Mini Cooper however, as of this morning the engine is officially gone. It overheated on the way to the house and after adding coolant and making a short 2 mile trip the coolant looks like a bad milkshake of the oily variety. I just don’t see paying as much in shipping as I would for the engine and first up on ebay one with bent valves, who the, what the, seriously who buys an engine with bent valves. Oh well I am sure something will come along or not. In the meantime a picture of a freshly rebuilt TH350.
