Do the lower sills look better painted black or body color?

Interesting how well the modern wheel spinners help push the contrast in that photo, as opposed to ancient "nave" plates.

Yesterday, actually. I gave my wife's Peace Corps friend a quick ride, possibly a last run before the weather closes in. She was quite taken with the car and the ride, and took this photo with her phone. (That is the remains of a rain puddle BTW, not diff oil.)

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.

Coffee Run to the Starbucks ( aka 4-bucks) over in Vinnings - some what facilitated by a garage clean out to remove some clutter that built up this fall.

I went for a little run up the black mountain in the Elan here it is parked next to wife?s car, You cannot argue the Mazda Mx5 is a definite copy of an Elan I guess that why I bought it for her birthday a few years ago.

Just a nice day to get out for a short drive. Lots of people out walking and getting a few last minute things done. Have a great and enjoyable holiday.

The bleed line in the pic is closest to you. Line is about 12" long. All the parts were obtained from Pegasus Racing. Can't find the receipt at the moment or I'd list the parts required.


Greg, many thanks. From the part number, your bleeder line seems to be 14" long. Where does it edit (I.e., where is the remote bleeder located)? I can't tell from the photo.

It's great you posted that. I'm about to place an order with Pegasus.
