The only glitches on the trip (a touch over 3600 miles) was a clogged fuel filter, a nail in a tire and had to fill rear diff fluid. 14mpg at 2850 rpm ( 80 mph) for 900 miles a day isn't to bad! Especially with the altitude changes in the mountains and 1800 lbs in the bed on the way there! I gotta admit, I'm impressed with the 351m!
At 3 years later, it’s been my daily driver for 2 years (my wagon in the pic got totaled). Just hit 55,000 miles on the odometer (I set it at 0 when I built it. Only issue I’ve had so far is a bad distributor. For the last 18 months I’ve been driving 60 miles a day to work and back with my job change. It has never failed to start and never left me stranded! Still haven’t touched bodywork although I have been getting the interior into shape. Will get more pics hopefully tomorrow. I now have 2 kids that are working on their cars, so mine is on the back burner.
