A year later

Well, I must say that I have not made any progress on the 911 for a year. Of course, deployment to Kuwait had a lot to do with it . Instead, I spent a year thinking, mourning, planning, rethinking, and anticipating this vehicle.

I am not sure when work on the vehicle will begin again. Presently the focus in my life is getting out of the Army and finding a different means to fund this project. Currently, I am considering giving up on restoring most of the car and just turning it into a track car. Funny thing is I think this will be cheaper in the long run. The difficulty will be keeping the car within emission standards for street use. We will see how motivated I am.

The car is running. It turned out that a crank sensor went bad and that was what caused the car not to run. Slightly expensive repair...Especially considering that the engine will have to rebuilt soon. (One of the head bolts sheared off) I also found out that the POS PO (previous owner) had the car MAACOed. The tird was so cheap he had them paint a single coat of black paint on top of the original paint and clear coat. Some people do not deserve nice cars. They are too ignorant to appreciate what they have. Funny thing is if the shape of the paint is any indication of how they treated the car, they probably would not have had to paint it the first time if they had taken care of it and kept it out of the auto car washes.

Oh well. So stay posted. More in the future...I hope.
