AB Sure can!

Sure can if you are ever coming to Alberta give me a shout - Always happy to meet another Rotary guy - But finished or not it is being loaded onto a boat for a long trip around November.

I was in PEI earlier this year didn't think there was any Rotary activity over there?

I actually moved to Calgary in February. There is a small amount of Rotary guys there. About less than 20 probably.

Part of the reason I moved to Alberta was to get in the rotary game and build motors.

AB I like working on clean engines...

Started to give the engine a quick clean to remove 40 years of grease and dirt... maybe got a little carried away on the die grinder and dremel.
This pic was after the hand sanding and polishing with the emery and tripoli compounds so still needed a bit of work. I have since done another pass with white rouge to brighten up the finish. I should hopefully have the rotor housings complete by the weekend.

Such a beautiful color. Especially with todays base/clear systems. Amazing progress with the new parts, too. Just don't make her so nice you won't want to drive her! Appears you'll be very close to that by what I see so far...

Funny- I sold my Rx2 and Rx7 to a Kiwi in B.C. in December- kept the Rx4, because I don't have a title for it yet, and I couldn't export it. Better chance of completing 1 than 3.

Obviously I will deal with the ride height once I have her back at curb weight.
