4). Clutch (not the band)

I had plans to work on the car beyond the basics, but wasn’t in a hurry. Aside from it being an old car that you had to drive a little differently than a modern vehicle, it was still the car of choice when I had to go somewhere. I would even choose the Z over my motorcycle fairly often, and for those who know me, that’s saying something.

Then around the spring of 2015, I was out running an errand when the clutch went out. I knew it was getting close, but I was still surprised when the clutch pedal just dropped to the floor. I managed to nurse it back home and parked it in my garage for the next few months.

And although she ran…

I had other things going on at that time and that’s how the car sat until later that year.
