And here I plan on painting my Ascot Silver 73 Formy Brewster Green, while Brewster goes silver. What a strange thing indeed.

As luck would have it a trade among two friends and boom no more Brewster.

So is Brewster, Brewster without a Brewster?

Haaaa, just call me Brew for now. Pictures and copy of the phs will follow later this weekend.
Its a great car and a blast to drive. Something I can work on and improve with my kids and thats what I was really looking for. I'll have many questions but I know I can get plenty of help right here.

Guess I need to join an HO club now? Anywho Cheers to change!

Hey Brew!! Guess the rumors I heard were true! That's a great picture (on your original post). That's a good looking couple in the background too!!

Good luck buddy, I'll miss you in the SD club!

Hey Dick, Thought you'd like that pic. How is Sara??? She rocked!

What SD club??? Any-who Im really enjoying the Formula and driving it. I put over 14k on that automatic sd and it was time to get rid of it before I broke something. D, will take good care of her and enjoy the originality.
The Formula is a big hit and having a manual car again to pounce one is ****. Hope you be impressed next time you see it?
Cheers, B

Brew

What are you going to do? A 12 bolt would not be correct nor numbers matching for that car. I guess you better start the search for a properly date coded 10 bolt.

Its a driver and the way Im going to drive it maybe its just as well. I'll get more information on the rear to post in order to understand what it is from and figure out the ratio Im running?
Also will start searching for the correct date coded rear for inventory. Ahhh the thrills of a new ride!
TA Nats bound and driving it all the way. Hopefully it makes it there and back ;o

NO, I didnt have time to be dicking around with it but will be ripping that cover off again soon.
Let me know if you can make it Bob. It would be great to see you and hang out for a while.

Silver, just leave the cover alone now and do a pinion count with the azz end supported off the ground . Rotate a valve stem 360* and count number of pinion/u-joint rotations as it goes.

But first do the burn-out test to make sure its a Posi

Ditto: Uhhh, it took me a while to catch the valve stem reference but now that my brain is in gear, that makes sense.
Ditto on the burn out also but can you please video and post here?
Lastly; If I didn't say it already. great new car!
