Well, she's been here a week and I've already gotten some things accomplished. Since the garage is in town and I live about 7 miles away, I usually don't get to spend much time there during the week, I work 50 miles away and spend two hours a day driving, on top of putting in an eight hour work day. So, right now most of my work on Elizabeth gets done on Saturday afternoons.

The first workday was last Monday, which was spend doing cleanup work (rodent nests) and assessing her overall condition. I got the rear seats out and stored and also played around with her wiring a bit, to see what kind of shape it was in (better than expected, not brittle or cracked and probably salvageable).

Yesterday was a bit more productive. Removed her trunk lid and hood, headlight bezels and grille (without breaking anything) and got to work trying to free up her motor. It's seized up at the moment, from sitting for over 10 years and Pete wasn't sure of it's condition. I've applied liberal amounts of PB Blaster down into the cylinders to try to free them up and will wait until next Saturday to see if it worked (got a new 24" breaker bar and a 1-1/4" socket for the task). If not, I'll shoot more PB Blaster, wait a week and try again. If that doesn't work I'll be pulling and rebuilding Elizabeth's motor as well.
