Well, I just gave it an oil change and as you know the interior is out. This 
Friday I'm hoping to drop the trans pan to investigate a 5th gear issue that 
I'm having.  Sometimes it will go into gear as it should and others it will 
either chatter going in or outright grind.  I *think* I may have a mal-aligned 
or loose selector fork.  We'll find out when I drop the pan.

After that I'm going to DRIVE the hell out of the car this year.  I'm planning 
on several long drives including the FCA meet.  Both my Daughters want to come 
with (they are 9 and 7 and TOTAL car nuts!)  In fact, my youngest turns 8 that 
week.

This fall the motor is coming out for a top end rebuild.  At least that is the 
plan for now.  (Subject to change of course!)

To date I have myself:
rebuilt the suspension including bushings and new coil overs
installed new X-OST exhaust
given it a valve job
replaced the belts
installed an electronic ignition (bye bye distributors!)
multiple oil changes
gearbox fluid change
added 328 wheels
larger swaybar
installed quick turn steering rack

I have farmed out:
carb rebuild
powder coating for suspension bits
rust repair with accident repairs.

AND I've put something like 17,000 miles on it in 2years. :)

I just LOVE this car!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is really cool...those Isettas are not me, but I can fully appreciate them 
for sure.

What's next for your car project wise?

Thanks!! I'm currently getting the interior vinyl re-covered so she is going to 
be a happy car!!
I was actually getting ready to go golfing on Saturday and around the corner 
comes the Isetta.
Neat kid! He is 17 and he inherited the Isetta from his Grandfather a couple 
years ago. His Dad is a car nut with a GTO, Vette and a couple others. His 
older Brothers are not car guys, so this kid really lucked out!

To cool! There was an Isetta at the Mid-Atlantic region's Lifts and
Lunch gathering a couple of weekends ago. Those things are adorable.
You'll have to scroll down, but the red Isetta is here:

It belonged to the gentleman who hosted us. He has quite a diverse
collection - Porsches, Ferraris, the Isetta, a Cadi, Boss Mustang, and
an original Woodie Mini Clubman!

I had an interesting car show up at my place this weekend. Here's the
original note I sent....the first one did not come through.
