No problems getting it back to Richmond.
Checked the coolant tank and oil before we left. All was good!

We had a fun shop day, the weather co-operated nicely, and although it was chilly at the start, the nice warm sunshine made it all OK.

We got a lot of work done on a bunch of cars, and thanks to Bill from Baron who dropped by to lend his expertise as well!

We only had one "failure", one o-ring on an oil filter that tore and leaked, but we caught it and changed it out and all was good.

Thanks to everyone who came and helped, it was a fun day!
Dave, wanted to thank you for your help with the oil change. Slowly gaining the knowledge on maintaining and upgrading these cars. Spark plugs down, oil change down, rear sway bar down. I observed a pulley install months ago at your garage and could probably be comfortable doing that as well though mine is done. Anyway, wanted to thank you and also Bill for pinpointing the issue I was having with the car. Now I know what it is and what to get to fix it.

...hopefully no one comes up with oil spill nicknames for me, lol.
