ok, I admit it, it was me....I bought Channing's 2002. Now some of you may be asking 'why the hell would you do something like that?' A fair question and I've been asking myself that all along. I think the answer breaks down to 80% I think those cars are cool and hope to enjoy puttering around in it for a while, and 20% to spite Rex and his sound logic.
Went down Saturday and picked it up, great to meet Chan & his family for a bit. We also hit up vmt.org which was pretty cool to see all the old trains...those are some serious machines. Uneventful trip home and the seats made me glad we didn't live farther apart.
I'd really like to get the door fixed and after seeing a photo, realize i need to drop the front bumper and get a front air dam (black section)

Also going to start planning out a suspension refresh with hopefully a modest drop and some larger wheels (read upgrading to 14's from 13's) and see what it'd take to put disk brakes on the rear. Oh yeah, and find a wooden steering wheel that doesn't cost like a grand. (I'm banking on Chan having sorted the mechanicals so i can do fun stuff)
