long, long sleep over for 36 3 Window

[Ron Pilger]

I might be off by one year, but I believe it was 23 years ago that I bought this 36 Window Coupe from a fellow some 550 miles away. I had it moved by a moving company, on a back-haul basis, from Southern British Columbia to central Alberta, where I live. With other projects underway, a mortgage, a day-to-day job, and raising 3 kids all on my plate this old girl found it's way to car jacks and a fairly inaccessible corner of my shop. Finally, with a few days off, with nothing absolutely pressing, I dug this car out and dusted if off. I fixed one leaking valve stem, changed the fluids, removed the plugs and applied penetrating oil and generally prepared the car for running once again. This should happen this week. The engine had not seized during the years which had passed. 'Been smiling all weekend!
