Mach 1:
Jumping in here a little late, but it sounds like you're moving on now which is good.
In regards to your comment about throwing money at a car that is already depreciated/ing - I can understand that to a point. However, my 91 LX is a good example of a S L O W project that I've had in mind for years now. It will eventually have a 331 cu in. motor (done that), Tremec tranny (done that), ProCharger D-1SC (future), 31 spline axles w/5lug Bear brakes, rebuilt rear, Bogart racing wheels, etc (all future). It just takes time. The nice thing is that I'm doing the project in stages that allow me to still 'enjoy' the car. Plus, like most any car from the early 90's it's been paid for for quite sometime now. Insurance isn't really an issue either as I'm 27, married, house, kid, multi-car discounts..etc. The real issue is just the garage space. I get one side and my wife gets the other which leaves my daily driver out in the cold (oh well!).
It's a moot point now, but why did you decide to sell it? I'm really curious after all the hard work and money that you had in it.
And, since I'm asking all kinds on questions today, are there plans to purchase another project vehicle?
Take it easy,
E
