Happy birthday, Charlie!!

Blue arrow icon?.

Not sure what that was. If you have a file name I will research to see if it still exists...

Thank you, 66 now, three times the age most everyone said I would live to when I was young.
Twice the age most everyone during my collage years said I could achieve.

But I do kind of wish I had not given them all reason to think those thought cause this body is kind of beat up.
Although it still feels nice to dive into a corner.

Just got back in. Good to see some old names. Still have my '97. We're renovating an old house so it's mostly used for trip to lowes or the tip :-)

My Gen1 has been neglected for a while. It always starts, well when the battery is good. I need a radiator, mine is original as far as I know. It seeps out of various places. My rear calipers drag. I need front ball joints. The AC started to blow warmer and warmer years ago. I used to work 2 miles from home and I got all dirty and sweaty at work so it didn’t matter.
Then we got a bigger car for my wife and I started daily driving the 2006 Outback. Great car, I wish it was manual. I had a Gates brand timing belt break on the Subaru and bend 12 out of 16 valves. The belt only had 50k (105k service interval. I replaced all the pulleys and water pump when I changed it. I could not find anything that caused the belt to break. I got the heads rebuilt and all new valves and put the Aisin pulley and belt kit on it. At the same time I replaced all gaskets and seals except the rear main and oil pan, I didn’t pull that engine. Yes you can take the heads off without pulling the engine. It is pretty easy. It’s faster than pulling and installing the engine. So I had to drive the montero for a few months on my 80 mile round trip to work. That round trip sucks with no AC in the south Louisiana summer.

I want to fix the Montero and bring it to north GA again.

What the hell? Nothing but old people over here. Next thing, you guys will be comparing prescriptions.
I'm just stuck in time with no interesting Mitsubishi related developments. Planned on being retired for three years now and start bringing the 89 SWB back to life, but they won't let me retire.

Mitch, I didn't even have my learners permit when i joined this forum with my inop '88 Montero, now i'm 35 and no prescriptions yet.


Happy belated birthday Charlie!

Thank you Adam,
Me, I am one of those that could give a run for the money on Prescriptions, 7 pills in the morning along with a shot of insulin. And 3 more pills in the evening.
But I am still walking on 1½ good legs and still kind of productive working half days and longer too many times. And a half day for some of us is 12 hrs.

Well I came back

A new (to me) 2000 SWB Galloper II in the works from Korea.

If it is still for sale when the deposit gets there it may here end July.

That will be sweet, I would expect pricing should be good from there but how is shipping to arrange? I presume a bit over a week once loaded port to port? That being the simple part.
