SE ressurection

[Wagoneer]

I thought I'd give my own mojo a little lift here and remind myself and anyone who's seen my car before what's been happening to it over the last five years of ownership. It's a 1989 narrow body SE, crossflow powered with a solid axle, chassis number 955. This car had laid dormant between 1999 and 2014 when I became it's new owner. It's taken the past five years to turn a wheel again due to all the reasons that we encounter, life, finance, more life, less life, fewer finances, circumstances and the often present lack of mojo.

 

This year I was determined to get it back on the road and enlisted the help of a local sports car specialist who have a history with kits and specials to give it the once over and get it MOT'd. A few hiccups along the way just working through 30 year old wiring but it's now running and driving. As always, there's a list as long as our collective arms of things to do, but at least I can enjoy it now. It's become my runaround for local trips.

 

Here's the car the day I collected it.

 

and just last week.

 

I've a blog post where details appear and I really ought to follow the examples of others and list the costs, even though that gets frightening!

a lovely looking car and it’s always a way to revive/ lift “ mojo” as life gets in the way for that reason I keep my build photos form collection to completion and the holiday pics

when your drive drops or the weather isn’t playing ball it gives you the enthusiasm to push through it

a run out for a coffee or to a favourite place does wonders aswell, even on your own, we all need a lift from time to time 

heres one of my fave pick me up pics-and one from this year

Wow! Snow. You're brave. I'm going to run mine throughout the winter too if possible, especially as it's not really a serious season down here in the 'warm' south.
