I'll jump in on this one with 3 resolutions:

1) Finnish the EFI install
2) Tune and dyno engine and post results.
3) Finnish and post 5 spd Transmission write-up.

ALL by the end of March.

Garth, I'll be checking on your progress!!

I'm not going to make a resolution because I am notorious for not doing them :oops:

However, I am happy to police others so you guys better watch out - particularly you Darryl since there is a write up to post!

Good luck to all you guys though - I hope you get your resolutions done on time.

My resolution is to drive mine more :D . It sounds lame but mine sat for months last year.

I am also going to start the restoon the 67.5 1600. It will be a frame off so there will be no talk about finishing this year :roll:.

Maybe Stuart could locate a nice 67.5 2000 left hand drive resto project for me to start. I mean if your going to do one, two is going to be twice as easy right???

Some people drive to go from point A to point B, I go from Point A to point B so I can drive.

I resolve to have my car driveable in the summer and work on it in the winter, instead of my usual other way around. It's OK this year, though....mid 60's tomorrow, maybe 70 on Saturday!!

I think we need to add a "british car humor" thread to the Humorous off topic, this way newbies don't go to car shows unarmed :roll:

I resolve to get my 67 on the road this spring. This includes a complete engine overhaul, brake overhaul, fuel system overhaul and go thru the trans to see if it needs an overhaul. It won't look pretty yet but I want a roadster to drive while I finish the resto on my 69.

Mine is a simple one, JUST DRIVE IT MORE :D Hopefully this is one resolution I can stick too.

When it comes to arming myself against Brit cars at a car show, I just point to the MGSLAYR license plates 8) open the hood :shock: turn the key :twisted: and they run like little school girls :oops:

Happy New Years
