Her first laps

So 2241R finally moved under her own power! Of course, if I have a car that moves, I have to give it a little bit of gas! I took it very easy, but I was able to get the car to the driveway. Once she was in the driveway, I had to try to go a little further... So, I drive her around the house! Three times!

After that, I just let her rest in the driveway, sitting next to the other cars. For the first time in almost 30 years, she was just like any other car, waiting to run to the store, or do laps around a track.

She has a fuel leak somewhere around where the two tanks are plumber together. That will be the first thing that gets fixed. Next, the shifter has a lot of slop when it is in gear. You can move it almost the entire throw after it shouldn't move. That will probably be next. The brakes are really light, and they need to be replaced with something that has a dual master cylinder in order to pass state inspection. I think that may be more important than the shifter.

More work, but she runs!
