More Capri work

It was beautiful today - in the mid 70s - so I got more work done on the Weasel after going to Tea Garden with Sev and Nrasser and my previous folly as mentioned with the Acer. We came back home around 7, grabbed food, came back and ate and then Sev and I got to work on swapping the driver's seat out of the Dragon and into the Weasel. The Weasel's seats have both had seat covers on them since I got the car, and the driver's seat bottom is torn to shreds. It's fine to sit on but it looks terrible and the seat cover is pretty lame too. The passenger seat had a cover on it too, but it looked fine underneath, apparently it was just to match. Anyway, in the process of doing this we found nearly $2 in change under the seats, which was a nice surprise. In the process we also managed to get the trunk light working in the Weasel, and discovered that I may need a new right rear wheel bearing. I may get that replaced on Thursday when I get the wheels aligned (all four) since it's never been done as far as I can tell. It needs it badly, especially since it has better tires on it and I don't want them chewed to shreds. Nrasser also picked up some copper tubing to fashion a new throttle cable connector with, and he's going to use some kind of motorcycle clutch cable or something to make a throttle cable out of. The cable in the Weasel has been jerry rigged by a previous owner, and it's only giving me 2/3 of the total throttle (ie. when I floor it, it's only open 2/3 of the way). So we need to replace that - the car is speedy enough as it is, but with full throttle potential, I think the Weasel will be much more fun to drive. From Nrasser adjusting it so I had 2/3 instead of 1/2 throttle at the floor (which is how it's been since I bought the car) I can tell a marked difference in how it accelerates. Anyway... I may be driving the Dragon tomorrow to Nrasser's house at least to keep wear off the Weasel's tires as much as possible until Thursday. I also need to swap the good handle from...
