In the wake of nearly three months since the acquisition of my first hobby vehicle (or a weekend car, a project car, a restoration undertaking... whatever you like to call it), the fortunes of the 1994 Ford Probe appear markedly improved. Approaching its 30th anniversary (first registered May 8, 1994), this vehicular relic now boasts an idling rhythm close to perfection, a significantly smoother acceleration profile, and a near-complete restoration of its operational features. Nevertheless, a considerable distance remains to traverse before the car attains the condition to which I aspire. Let me tell you more about the recent developments.
