Easter Road Trip In The 38

[fordlovr]

I'm Taking the 38, The Wife and my Dad to the west Coast this Easter for the annual Vintage Car Club Easter Rally. Its a 350 mile round trip with approx. 130 miles of "Rally" in between. From home its over the Southern Alps,which is a bit of a challenge, there are two ways to get there,1 easy 1 much tougher,although fairley easy these days in a modern car, but 3 gears and cable brakes it should be fun ! We are going over Arthurs Pass and back home through the Lewis Pass, Will take pics and a video{ have been practising} I thought I better get a few wee jobs done that I've been meaning to do for a while. Took the front seat out to get new springs,etc, as its been very uncomfortable , with that out its only an hour or two to whip off the floorboards and replace the gearbox mounts. Yea right! Glad I did tho as they were stuffed as I Suspected.Also put in new engine mounts.Made a wee bracket [as per the thread of a few days ago]to stop the window wiper sitting on the roof! Its can be very wet on the West Coast.Its got the Highest rainfall in New Zealand.
