anyways....next thing I have to figure out is where I'm gonna put the thing. I might just throw a tag on it and let it sit here at my apartment's parking lot.

Your right, ill be back in another year and a half, when tony don't do shit with this car, and ends up crushing it.

I don't give anybody crap cause I think the rest of you all are awsome, and secretly admire your sence of community that you guys have on this forum, real talk

Anyway ill see you all in a year and a half,
Sincerely - joe

That's funny dude, considering the last car didnt get crushed....it's now doing oval track stuff now. If I remember right, only thing you've been doing lately is ridealongs with Dave. But I'm not wanting to make any more waves. I just wanna fix my car, just like you wanna have yours fixed, savvy?


and on a quick edit here: why it takes me so long to do crap is that I'm willing to learn to do what I need to do, and I do it. My own engine work, etc. I actually grab the factory shop manual and I see what needs to be done. You take your car to whichever shop is nearby.
I'm sorry brah, I was feeling a little bit full of myself, cause I got my car back a couple months ago, I shouldn't have came in here and caused a brouhaha cause of it....

it's kinda scary how fast one is able to open this things doors without a key.

found out something else too, the outside door handles don't work either.....

and I think it's sat for a year.

Tony I'm glad to see you get something that will take less work to get going.
If you need a full parts car for 3-400 bucks let me know, I know of a 1986 GXL complete car is hidden one in Hall County near where I used to live.

Good luck on the build, KEEP IT SIMPLE!
