Talking Almost there!!!

Well I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I got a phone call today from Fighter's Garage, who is currently working on my car, saying that the car runs! Of course there are still a couple of minor issues, but significant progress is being made! I'm so ready to get back in the car. It's been two long frustrating years. I just figured I'd share my excitement.

Congrats. I am on going with a rebuild/single turbo conversion project. I am 60% done with it and I am already exciting on putting things back together and having it run!!!!

Good luck and enjoy the car once it's ready!

I'm going to Destin this weekend, so I doubt I'll make the Fighter's meet. Hopefully though, I can pick it up on the way there or back! If not, sometime next week would be fine too. And as far as pics go, here are some. They are old, but I'll get some new ones when my car is finally up and going!!!

Nice looking ride! Same year & color as mine. Putting another engine in it right now. Getting close to finishing. I know how you feel about the excitement of getting near to having the car back on the road. It will be worth the wait!
