Made some headway this week.
In B C it is still required to get a collector's car through the emmissions BS. But it is worth it as the "Collectors" plate with insurance costs $250 per year and the emmission test is at idle and only needs to be done once.
Quite likely it would have difficult, if not impossible, to get the 2 L through with 10.4 cr and 7L cams. Fortunately there is an Alfa tuning shop with an exhaust gas diagnostic sensor and that was done successfully on Friday.
Then during the continuing monsoon
, I drove the Spider out to Don's. That was a 35 minutes and , hey, it stayed dry inside and the windshield didn't fog up.
Then with Mike's help, the 1600 was out by 3 pm. There has been no damage or repairs done to the front-end at all. I got an "assist" for holding the light and cleaning up the spills.
