Any Pelican's that speak both English and Spanish?

I am looking for a member who speaks and writes both Spanish and English . Preferably familiar with El Salvador/ Central America .
I own a 935 that was once raced and owned by a man from El Salvador. After being purchased from Europe in 1978 this car raced in both IMSA from 1980-1986 and in Central America from 1978-1988 . I have found numerous web sites that reference this car and owner but am unable to communicate effectively. Recently I found a Forum based in El Salvador that had photos of this 935 . I was hoping someone may be willing to post on the forum for me so I can effectively communicate and hopefully learn more about this 935 .

At Daytona 24 Hours in 1981


In Central America at El Jabali Marlboro 3 Hour race

There are several guys here who do. My Spanish is poor having lived there way back in the 60's.

Send a pm or email to "Yellowbird RS" as he is located right on the border between Texas and Mexico but believe that he does a lot in the business South of the border. He just posted in the last day or so in the OT Random Photos thread here: MORE random pics......

Thank you to everyone who has responded. I have emailed PRE-H2O since he is a natural with roots in El Salvador.

Gracias
