On The Road Again

I took my Corvette for inspection last week. It did not pass because one of the rear brake hoses was leaking. Luckily it was only because the connecting nut had loosened when I fixed the parking brake during winter. I tightened the nut and the car passed the inspection today!

On the drive home I also tested the car on the freeway. I drove about 110kph for a few kilometers and there was no overheating problem anymore. Seems that it was caused by the wrong ignition timing.

New Tail Lights

I happened to find some pretty nice tail lights on sale in Finnshark. Mine are in horrible condition so I decided to buy them. I took a short drive today to get the lights and besides a few scratches, they were great. I also made a few other nice purchases but more about those later :) Changing the lights only took a few minutes but it really made a huge difference to the rear appearance.

Out with the old...
...and in with the new!

I've also been busy with the parts I ordered from Big City Corvette. I've installed the new side tail lights, rear window trim and driver side ducts. Installing the passenger side duct seems to require removal of some interior panels so I have not bothered yet...

Picture screaming "wash me!"
