build diary

September 21, 2004: Well, that was a fun week in Moab.
But I'm feeling a little burned out on working on cars. So after removing the radiator from the Seven a couple of days ago I've kinda stalled. It is fairly obvious that the radiator popped partially because I didn't roughen the surface of the patch before glueing it on and partially because it got a little warm - but mostly because I tried to take a short cut and use JB weld instead of having the rad properly modified. There aren't many places I cut corners in the car but this is one of them. For those who are wondering how the engine is - it was running fine when I shut it off. We'll see what happens once I get the radiator fixed.
