I know one can adjust rear drum brakes but just not quite sure what he did to the discs to give me that slight improvement?

My main go-to guy did agree to install my custom exhaust and strut tower brace however but I asked permission first.

She was in bumper to bumper traffic in the mountains - I’m sure that put strain on the clutch, but for it to completely fail on a car with 7k miles was hard to accept. My wife is a bit north of 50 - meaning she grew up driving manuals and has had plenty of them during the time we’ve been together...a Jetta, a couple MINIs, her BMW wagon...and those were her primary cars; she obviously drove my cars too.
We got the feeling the VW sales advisor thought she bought the manual Alltrack as a novelty - she went to great lengths to let him know that she was well versed in operating a clutch. 😀

I’m almost 56, but I don’t think that I’ve done any favors for any clutches... awkward

Oh, and all the head bolts were in good shape, so should be no worries on the head gaskets.

That GLH is a perfect example. It looks like they did the absolute bare minimum to put a body over a frame. Box made with metal panels. I don’t think the grill could possibly look more generic.
Instead of Omni they could have called it the generic “Acme” car.

I meant to ask; How's the Stingray working. Are you driving it?
2020 Ascent Limited, 2024 Subaru Legacy Sport
Sting Ray is good. I had the gauge cluster refurbished (after the tach needle fell off) and reinstalled it along with a new dash wiring harness. The new dash wiring harness had some pins that were not well engaged at the firewall connection so I was lucky enough to have to pull it all out and send in the wiring harness. They sent a replacement and all is good now. I need to install the radio an shifter console
Still drives like a tractor...but I grin from ear to ear
Your bravery is duly noted!

I had a '65 and '67 coupe. I always wanted a '63 coupe, but I waited too long until the prices got crazy.

I sweat and swear when someone pulls out in front of me with these drums. I never know what wheel will lock up. I try to keep my distance but it is tough sometimes
Interesting that they reassembled the cams incorrectly. Should really go like stink when you are done!
But it did idle a little rough, and had the CEL. Hopefully both fixed. I’m ready to fire it up but now the battery is dead so it is on the charger. I replaced the rear hatch struts, too. Now it doesn’t close on my head. Ha.

Still haven't started her. The battery may be done for, for some reason. I had disconnected the post under the hood while working on it, so I'm not sure what's up. But I charged it for quite some time and, although the dash at least lights up now, it doesn't have enough juice to turn over. I even tried jumping with the Dodge, but no luck. I've plugged in the trickle charger and will let it go overnight.
BTW, I was not at all aware that the battery is located under the passenger seat, in the floor. That's crazy. OH, and I discovered I have no spare! The well is empty.
