After about 5 months of inactivity and garage sitting and waiting for parts and cold and dirt and blah blah blah it is back on the road.

I got my B2 back together and took it for a quick spin tonight.

It fired right up, ran for 1/2 a second and then died beautifully. I was not happy. Then I remembered that my dumb ass changed the fuel filter and never primed the system. After that was taken care of it ran as well as it ever did. Misses a bit when cold, A/C still works, driver's side window switches still don't.


I would just like to drop a special thanks to Beef for hooking me up with some trans cross member bolts since one of my originals got misplaced during the project and Downey for nagging me to get it done.

Well, seems to work for now anyway. When I bought it last spring he told me it worked and was ice cold and it did get cold when I looked at it, but by the time I went to use it in the summer it was low enough to trip the safety switch.

It was only about 70 and not very humid when I tested it last night.
