Got another piece of the re-wiring puzzle today, a Volvo fan relay for the ubiquitous Volvo relay/taurus fan/BMW switch swap.

hard to find one with the plugs still attached. Found this on Ebay and jumped on it.
 
Pulled engine for rebuild. It ran fine, no smoke, but burned 12 qts of oil on a 2500 mile trip to and from the Tillamook State Forest in Oregon. Had to buy a 6 pack of oil with each 6 pack of beer. Leak down test blew the oil filler cap off the valve cover. 6 hours on the ground and stripped.
 
naw, don't think. stranger things have happened tho...I see where it is, just a bit far for me this year, unless I drive the 62:doh:
 
I needed the motivation to get it papered again. Thanks! I'll see what steam I can muster. It might have to be the second annual, tho...Boy, I'd love to have the wagon going to and convoy. shoot, I got some work to do...
 
New tread time. Going to start the new year right.

Popped the bead and she's ready to roll. Two done so far. My back says take the other two in to a shop. I wanted to clean the rims of both rears to address some super old brake fluid damage. Lucky only cosmetic.

wheels are spinning; at least, something smells like burning rubber. maybe I should get that checked...
 
hatching new hair brained scheme to trailer home the 73 frame and 77 wagon carcass...the wife is gunna be having to get over it. whether we make it to the bash is TBD...
