Well, close but no cigar. All I lack is a few odd and end stuff (fluids, plugs, and exhaust) before I can crank it up. Still some other small stuff I need to complete before it's road worthy again. I should be ready to roll within the next week or so.

Yep, March 9th was the 2 year mark when the engine finally let-go and lost all compression.

Having not kept up with the Comso as much, are they all 3 rotors? If not - is yours - the wheels on the Cosmo looks great.

Thanks Tim. The newborn is doing great, car took a slight turn for the worse... corrected the mishap but had one of the worst scares of my life.

Also, check the car tag on the Cosmo, "TRU 20B"

Exclamation

Today might be the day! Need to install the seats and add a little gas to check for fuel leaks then add oil, coolant, brake fluid, and p.s. fluid. Also need to trouble shoot my wideband, it's not showing any readings. BUT FIRST... I have to move some old furniture into storage.

Primed the fuel system and found a leak at the FPR where the pressure sending unit screws in. I wrapped the threads with teflon tape but maybe didn't use enough. Need a little expertiseon from someone on the correct use of teflon tape.
