After a long wait and many rainy weekends, I finally got some time yesterday to put some doors in on my garage and pull the Scout out into the sunlight where I could crank it over without asphyxiating myself. <\/p>\n

Mr. Scout stopped over to pick up parts he’s been storing (his Scout is moving this weekend to get serious bodywork started, but I’ll let him tell his own story) and helped me hang two rough doors that are wide enough to accommodate. <\/p>\n

The good news is that she fired right up after some fussing with the battery connections and a squirt of gas down the carb. I pulled her out and let her warm up, and expected to see coolant dripping from the water pump like we’d seen in February, but after 20 minutes at idle without a fan shroud, there was no sign of leakage. I’ll have to pull the fan and pump off anyway to put a new shroud on, but knowing the pump itself seems to be OK is a fantastic break. Which means there is no bad news!<\/p>\n

So, the next steps are:
\nInsurance and registration
\nFabricate new mounts and get the spare fan shroud installed (and replace the water pump gasket while we’re at it)
\nPut the top down
\nEnjoy! <\/em><\/p>\n
