Had to wait for handbrake cables. Now I really hope I'm done, because all the parts in stash are on the car.
And the cables busted the budget, since I just had to put a roof on the house.
PB&J and tuna fish for the foreseeable future.

We did the roof last summer, ouch.
It’s always satisfying when all the parts boxes are empty and all those shiny bits are on the car. Except when you find that big 4” bolt left over and wonder where it went....

All the parts were stashed for the Real Project car, not this one ; I bought it for a buddy. He changed his mind, I'm in way deep, and not done yet. We'll see what's next.
The roof was 45 squares, and a tear-off, since it already had threee (3) layers on. Not kidding about the PB&J. I'm going to have to sell something soon.

Got under the car today and noted my exhaust is falling apart. My mechanic offered one for free a while back and i hope it still stands in a weeks time when i get back from a trip. Thinking of getting a new cat too as the old one is aftermarket and fried by my guess.

Color codes? Where do I find that info and translate it to English? Is that the placard that's on the driver's side inner fender?
