Prepping the car this weekend to be able to drive it to the PI Meeting in Orange, CA.

Oil filter element arrived at the parts store last night so I went and picked that up. None of part stores around here stock it, but always can get it within 24hrs (WIX 50180/NAPA 1080/FRAM CL134P).

Also last night I pulled the oil bath air cleaner out and cleaned out all the old oil and goop and filled with fresh clean oil.

Oil change on the agenda tonight since I've hit the one year mark with that oil.

Also topped off the tranny fluid since I have a small leak around the select shaft. But going to leave it for now as that transmission is getting pulled soon.

Assuming the drive goes without any issues, I should have it on display for the car show on Sat morning.

Drove the car around this Sun for a bit, and it was nice to pull out of the Driveway with Nicole in the car as well and not scrap while doing it.

We are looking at the weather in the 70s-80s this weekend, so should be nice. Looks like El Nino is taking a siesta.
