Getting all cleaned up for the AACA Southeastern meet in Hampton, Virginia, this weekend. With new water pump, and new brushings for manual stick shifter, all ready to go.

Nice! I’ve had a similar issue with squeaky brakes. Replacing the pads usually helps. When I had that problem, I ended up doing a quick bedding procedure on the new pads, and it made a big difference.

Visited Oldtimer Service, the Pagode specialist in Norway, to replace a broken bushing in the manual gear linkage. The stick dropped 5-10 cm. Top service by Bjarne Koren as usual. An hour drive each way, through Oslo Norway. Maybe the last trip this season, snow just around the corner.
Drive safely,

Replacing those bushings was the very first thing I had to do in my car. They turned into what resembled queso blanco.
