Thanks, but you were right, I was crazy, I’m still crazy for taking it on. But it’s the history of the car that makes it cool. At least to me.
So quick back story, a long time friend of mine ran into a sudden need for money, his now ex wife had drained his bank accounts and ran off with another dude. Well I tried offering to simply gift the guy the money, but he insisted he had to sell me something as he felt too guilty and prideful to take it for free. Anyway, this was his brothers car and given to him after it’d caught fire briefly back in 2000. My buddy never liked or wanted the car. Thing sat parked in clay dirt up to the doors, sunken in the ground for nearly 2 decades. Pulled it out in December 2017. At 5 above zero. Lots of pics in my build thread over at FBBO
Anyway, I talked to his brother, most of the dents are from the early 90s, him and his buddies would road race on this long, windy gravel road out in the country from town. They’d lean on each other, beat and bang.
I do, it’s on FBBO, though it too needs updated
