God morning all, the sun is with us today, still -2 at 10:00 AM but should reach +6 or so, garage working weather.
Have a good day all.

When does the new tank arrive Dan?

Tank came in today. But I ordered a new sending unit, pad, ground strap and some other stuff. That will all be here tomorrow.

Good day all. Man what a beautiful day it was today, not cold and sunny +12. Warm weather is supposed to stick around, but with rain for the next couple of days.

Sounds that weather wise we are in the same boat, for the next few days. Three small things scratched off my to do list on my Dart Sport.

Certainly makes working on these old cars, much more comfortable.

Good morning, went for my walk before the rain starts, it's cloudy though, +4 and breezy, two miles in 1/2 hour. Not too shabby for an old bugger like me. Just had a look at the radar and we might only get clouds but it will be close.
Dan got his tank and now for the rest of the stuff. I wonder if he is going to lie on his back and remove the tank himself or get it done by somebody who is careful.
Have a good day to everybody.

Good morning all, rain all day today. Now their calling for snow Sunday and Monday.
J-G, At this point, I'll be installing the tank myself, but that could change.

Good morning 4 to start and another 18-20 high today. Looking at Phils picture I almost feel guilty even mentioning the weather, oh and nice line up eh Phil. Got the new heater core yesterday(the old one was questionable at best) and seeing as I am going to be using Evans cooling I sure don`t want to loose any from a leak.
Have a great day

Waterless coolant?

It was recommended to me and I checked it out. Seems pretty good so its a goin in and we will see. There was overheating problems with my car I can only assume as there was an electric fan zip tied to the old rad. Stay tuned for reports!

Well I am certainly glad we do not have that white shite here. A lovely 21° here at home and not a cloud in the sky. Sorry for you folks that are getting snowed on.

by JGL Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:22 am

You lucky devil, the north of the province(where philcollins lives) still has snow but us guys at the southern part only have a few small spots and most of it will likely melt today with 12 now and a high of 16 with likely rain later.

by JGL Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:34 am

Good morning people, sure is nice to be in the melting stage for a change, 12 going to 16 but with clouds and rain later. Getting read for our trip to Florida next week(7-14). Its with my wifes family and a few friends. It is not going to be quiet because most of them are female. Anyways it is finally starting to sink in.
Have a good day all.

by Ragtacker Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:58 am

Good morning, 5 to start and will wind up 18-20. Typical March in like a lion out like a lamb. Put the finishing touches on the motor paint job last night installed the motor mounts so its ready to go back in tomorrow. Did I mention I can`t wait
Have a great day

The Polar Vortex has hit and is expected to hang around for a few days. Daytime highs of -5C...whoopee! Life is good!

It was recommended to me as well by my engine builder when I put my motor in last fall. No one in town here heard of a waterless coolant. They looked at me as if I was from Mars. Pretty expensive.

Aaahh, I feel for you, now do not send it our way! But from what I seen on tv it was coming from the north, to the prairies and up through part of Ont. and from there even further north.

by petnic01 Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:20 am

I won't! I think you fellas in the east have had your fair share of this stuff over the years lol!

by Ragtacker Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:56 am

YEEEESH thats gross that white stuff. My sister in law her ex and their kids used to live in T-Bay they had some pretty good stories about the weather there.

Almost every year except this year. We even had a few early springs, but they are rare.

Good day all. Was a nice day today. Well the rest of my parts never came in from National Moparts, apparently the sending unit is on back order, so they won't ship until the order is complete. The bad part is, I sat home all day yesterday waiting for the delivery that never came, however never did the phone call telling me it didn't ship.

I just got some stuff from them and had to ask for the in stock parts to be shipped and the back order to come once its in. I was not all that happy that I had to do all the calling to get this figured out. The parts I got were great and the shipping was fast but the communication was less than adequate.
