Officially closing this Resurrection thread. The clutch line blew but I replaced it and took her for a nice 65 mph spin.

Queen Elizabeth M56 lives again at 261,000 miles now

Replace cheap clamps on induction path, especially the one on the lower intercooler which snags my belly every time I roll underneath
Turbo control hoses still original, evaluate
Change MT fluid, 100k
Replace rusty clutch slave line
Rebuild starter...already at auto electric shop

Note the absence of thumbs up on rusty clutch slave line in 2021…I got another 4 years out of this!

I sure forgot how nice an m56 is in slippery icy conditions. By controlling torque precisely she was easy to get out of the deep pack driveway. Got all the cars out, blew the 18 inch of white over to the edges, got full width of the three x two car driveway so everyone can get in and out. All on only two Aleve

I had thought you had moved out of the snow belt.

I had no idea you were still buried. Here in MI we lost all our snow a couple weeks ago, when it warmed up. It's since cooled back down, but not as cold, and much less snow has accumulated.

One of these days, I wouldn't mind owning a manual again. It's pushing 30 years since I've had one.

More Aleve will probably be needed later!

Hope everyone in the NE is managing well with the snow... I think we're done for the year, we already had an absolute blizzard by NC standards! I'm ready for spring, I can't handle the cold... the low 40s we've been dealing with the past few days in unbearable.

Haha, I can't help but chuckle a little when someone down south says that, I would be celebrating low 40s right now. T-shirt weather!
