jhammons01.....rotorless

Well guys, it true. A local bought the Vert Yesterday. A chapter is closed and now I have regrets...of course

You can't build a car and not get attached to it.

My boys, then 13 and 9 really worked hard with me to pull that motor and disassemble and then rebuild and replace. It was a blast.

Further irking me is the fact that the Vette I bought seems to need all the same **** minus the Engine rebuild.

As I drive the Vette I notice the throw out Bearing is squeaking and the clutch chatters and the brakes have blow by so a new master cylinder is here on my desk awaiting the project. The brakes squealed Yesterday so pads are in order. I already put new tires on it.......de javu all over again.

But if you love cars you keep going.

Keep your eyes open for a newbie with a Vert. He'll be around soon enough

How about this...

I don't have a Rotary Engine anymore.

There is a Silver S5 Coupe that has been sitting at a gas station in Santa Ana for ever. It hasn't been touched for a while. Evidenced by the Louvers still on the back hatch.
