This is kind of fun though in the interim. Just found my original window sticker from when I bought the car in 1994. Thought I got a steal when I negiotiated the price to $34,000. Had no idea at the time of the big discounts the dealers were offering to get the cars off the lot.

Wow, I had been off the forum for most of the summer and I surely expected to see the final product in your hands. But I see now that's not the case. to you for enduring this whole process. It will pay off.

Very interesting...... I wonder what the Estimated Fuel Costs would be at the price of gas nowadays. Probably double that if not more.

Thought gas was around 1.00$ now its above 2.50$ we use to have 93 octane here in jersey now it's only 92 what crap! So figure you'd spend at least 2500$ in gas to drive around 12k miles... Seems like a lot to me but I don't daily drive mine and could care less about prices of gas.

I saw this car in person at Gotham when I went to pick up my car. David's car is 100% sick nasty hotness. I got terrible 20B envy just standing too close to it.

Cool

Log and pictures please. I live pretty close to the shop. I was just down there the other day. The 3 rotor he has in the shop there is AMAZING. Good luck with the conversion though over there.

Anything new? Mine is getting a fuel cell at the moment. Seems like this project never ends. I drove it before getting this work done and it just did not feel quite right. It is one thing to get the engine in and running, but a whole different thing to get it comfortable....

^No updates yet. Lots going on but will post the results soon. As you know Mirabile it is a big undertaking to get everything just right. We'd like to think though it will all be worth it, right?
