    Hello all !

    I am going to resurrect Moonbeam McSwine (currently in "barn-find-without-the-barn" condition) and try to make a comeback, after all these years

    It's encouraging to see so many familiar names and faces are still here !

    The resurrection is going pretty well.
    Back on the road and not looking too bad, considering she sat under a tree for five years

    Yes, I couldn't get the car running in time. Bah.
    After it came out of the shop it had to go right back in because the compressor wasn't coming on for the air ride. Had to replace the "dryer."

    I now have a new dryer on the compressor, and -
    Four new tires
    Brakes and rotors all the way around
    Two new brake calipers
    New fuel pump + filter
    New ride height sensor + linkage
    Two new belts
    New battery
    Kitchen sink, flag pole, argyle socks
    Etc etc

    I drove it this past weekend and it's running well. Next, a little spot of body work in a couple of weeks.
