pre-engine yank

October 16, 2008 8:26 pm

 Since the Rapier 1.0 did not have the engine installed when I purchased it, i thought I’d better get some reference shots, so I took some photos of the engine bay today. All in all it looked fairly original, or stockish. The only real fun things I found were some cobbled linkage, and an odd exhaust hanger fix. Tomorrow I’ll start to yank the little thing out.

snow in october?

well I’ll be damned! SNOW.

Nothing new to update, other than it started snowing last night. Liz and I were in Park City watching David Byrne at the Eccles Art Center (ie Park City high school) and when we walked out, a nice blanket of snow was waiting for us. The valley just got a skiff of snow, but just enough to blanket the rapier. She looks cute with a bit of snow.

Still waiting on the shipper for Version 2.0, it’s on the highway in Idaho somewhere, hopefully the snow doesn’t hold him up. i’m getting anxious!
