Re: Re: ’55 11BN in Vancouver

So after 7 1/2 months my car is finally insured and back on the road! It passed the provincial inspection on the first attempt, which was a pleasant surprise. Of course now that it’s driving I’ll be starting a new to-do list, and I hope to go for a ride in a local sorted car or two to understand what is normal for these cars, and what needs to be on my list. So far:

– the fuel sender is out since it always reads 20 litres
– the transmission will eventually need some work as it pops out of 2nd gear under load and shudders noticeably when starting from rest in first gear.

Still, it’s very satisfying to be able to drive it after all this time. It’s also nice that the family really enjoys riding in it, since they aren’t always so enthusiastic about my cars.
