Worked on the car some today, I think I got the clutch finally bled. My daughter filmed some of my drive.

I was having some issues with the clutch, namely I felt that the Hyd TB had air in it because it didn't like to go into reverse. I spent some time working on that and managed to get it fixed up.

At this point I could not help but notice I had an increasing puddle on the floor of what appeared to be oil. I knew that that the passenger side valve cover was leaking a bit but this was more than that.

I am using a remote oil filter and as it turned out the filter block off was finger tight... So I got that tightened up and went to check the oil... none on the dipstick It wasn't ticking or knocking and it had good pressure so I think I dodged a bullet, tomorrow I will get some more oil for it.

Next on the list is the wiper motor, I rebuilt it and it tested out but now doesn't park and the switch has to be pushed in slightly to get it to turn off, not sure what all that is about.

Really good to see you have been able to get some seat time and give the car a running shakedown even just a few short runs. Your time and attention to detail pays dividends.

Yeah it was good, I still need to sort out a few gremlins but overall things are going well.
