Nothing much going on....Richard is off on spring break this next week. Duane is staying home today to work on Richard's car...

The lovely Impala - all decked out to look like a cop car. I can't really figure out why, but it seems to make Richard happy....

Anyway, we had to go have it towed home a week or so ago - the transmission just gave out. It's got 175,000 trouble-free miles on it, so I guess it was a decent deal as cars go.

Since the car is still in nice, shiney shape, Duane decided to order a new (rebuilt) transmission and engine (what the heck, if you're gonna do it, do it right,,,,right?)

Here's the before photo of the engine (exciting...) They will be taking this out today and putting the new one in.



Here's the new engine. Glad they know what they're doing. The transmission's not here yet.



Told ya nothing much was going on!!!!

That's a lot going on - remember when Duane rebuilt the engine in that old junker Chevette - hehe! You know I'm a big fan of fixing things and re-using them...

Love,

The car does still look nice and should be almost new again when finished. E
