This weekend, we have been working getting the garage a little more organised (for Joseph's tool). It's start. And Joseph worked on the Austin Healey BugEye Sprite.

The Riley Elf ... Cruising all along

Two days ago we finally started the Riley Elf!!!! So much work and sweat over that car ...

Rebuilding the engine, Part 3

The SoCal Dew Crew is on the move ... Scott and Ben helped Joseph to put some parts on the car. Joseph hurts himself while running on Monday morning and needed some help.

Doors and Hood

Joseph put back doors and hood on the Riley Elf yesterday. Also prepared the fitting for the chrome. A little more body work, one step at a time ... closer to completion.

Riley & the Riley Elf

Sunday Afternoon, Joseph is finished with his class paper. He is now working on the Riley Elf and Riley joined him for the occasion. Joseph is showing her how to prep the car for the paint job. They are grinding and sanding the car down. Nice Father-Daughter quality time ... Even if Riley don't realize that yet :).

 

Memorial Day ... Working on the Riley Elf with Ben

Another way to spend your Memorial Day weekend ... working on welding, grinding, lifting, restoring your car. Here is Ben and Joseph working on Riley's ride : the Riley Elf.

Working on Riley's Ride by Joseph

Joseph : The Riley Elf is stripped. Engine and tranny still need to come out. But I have identified all of the rust. It doesn't look good. Lots of work ahead! Only two rusty bolts broke off...not too bad. Have to drill them out, I hate that. The doors need some work to open and close properly. But it will look great when I am done.

Jeep Crash

We are really not lucky with this Jeep. December we got broken into and had the back window broken, and last week we got rear ended while being stuck in traffic. First Estime is 12000 for the outside damage. Now we have to wait that they tear down the Jeep to know more.

The guilty pick up!!!

Pictures from the New Crazy Crain Crew Car!

The car was finally delivered Friday night! It was more than time! Our old english cars were dying on those Californian hills!
