Well after recovering from food poisoning I was able to muster up enough strength to drive Monkey and our wrecking crew to Lincoln, Nebraska so we could get a 745. It was also a chance
to take the R on it's first road trip.
When we got to there the 740 looked ok for it's age and had a schweet set of wheels. Once we popped the hood things looked kinda bad. There was a fair amount of oil collected around the water pump and I felt that the car was a little on the hot side for not being driven like it was a car that I owned.
On the test drive the car was under powerd for running around 7 pounds of boost, It shifted hard, and the Edsel in 59 Ford lineup was the fact that when we came to our first stop the oil pressue light started to flicker. We had checked the fluid levels before we started the drive and knew that it was only about half a quart low.
NO DEAL!
The TIc needed to get us home and with a low oil pressure we knew it was iffy not to mention what prior damage may have occurred to the B230FT due to the oiling issue.
The upside was good friends, the R's first road trip, and good beer at Lazlo's Brewery & Grill.
The quest goes on for Monkey's next set of wheels.
