Project Car SOTU: My Porsche 944
/
/
comments
I believe our very own Jeff Glucker once said that everyone should own at least one car that is older than themselves. I decided that this was the best time in my life to get a 944 then, as I would probably never be able to get one for a good price when I felt…

Project Car SOTU: 1991 Subaru Justy
/
/
comments
In my last Justy post, I was prompted by the car’s horrifically uneven compression numbers to sideline the car until I made more progress on my AMC Eagle. This has mostly been accurate, though I have since confirmed a handful of possible issues and purchased some new parts to install, while mentally preparing for an engine teardown and…

Project Car SOTU: Roadster, The '95 Mazda Miata

Hard to believe that it’s already been almost 3 months since the last update on Roadster. As much as I’d like to say that a lot of progress has been made in autocross preparations since then, it really hasn’t. Life has just gotten in the way lately, as it does at times. That’s not to say…

Project Car SOTU: 1984 AMC Eagle
/
/
comments
My AMC Eagle’s primer-gray hood has unceremoniously become a staging area for crap I need to shove into the attic. My access ladder is right above the Eagle’s engine bay, which means I usually sit on the top edge of the windshield as I pull the folding ladder down. Rusted fittings on its clutch master cylinder had…

Project Car SOTU: '62 Ranchero, '64 Falcon, '69 Wagoneer and '59 Project House Hell
/

comments
Time flies. Re-reading last year’s post, so many of the “really need to get to…” items remain as such. At least my kitchen is done. The ’64 Falcon just plods along, but with a growing number of minor nags. The Wagoneer pisses me off on a regular basis, but makes for good videos. The kitchen…

The Project Car State of the Union rolls around again, and the last time I introduced you to my humble, burgundy Sierra. I had just recently gotten it, as it was last summer, and I wanted a RWD car for the winter again. This post won’t tell you much of anything about the Sierra. Well,…

Project Car SOTU: 1995 Acura Integra GS-R

So, I’m at a predicament. I bought this car on a whim, if you recall (part 1, part 2). Since then, and since the first update, I have dumped a ton of money into it and hardly drove it. I still live in a downtown Boston high-rise building where parking is pricey, I walk to work or drive whatever…

Project Car SOTU: HoonTruck & Wombat

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsGu5D0XqDo[/youtube] My journey of wrenching exploration continues with HoonTruck. Queue the cartoon cat because I feel like I take a step forward, and then I wind up two steps back. Regardless, it’s been an enjoyable process learning how to “fix” things on the truck, and I’ve not been demoralized to a point where I’d ever…

Project Car SOTU: Introducing the 1998 Volvo V90
/

comments
Okay, can I see a raise of hands here, who likes wagons? Yep, that looks like most of you. Well, I do too. Not only that but I’ve always been somewhat keen on the boxiest of wagons – Volvos. This 1998 Volvo V90 is the latest edition to the menagerie, and its purchase was remarkably…

Project Car SOTU: 1971 Datsun 240Z

comments
There are two purposes for this update on my 240Z; the first is to bring you up to speed on what has been going on with the car, the second is to brag about how big my garage is. Both the updates and the bragging (not too much really) begin right after the jump.
