Now, my dad's 74 is my project car, im 72 and ive been working on the car for 10 years, as time permits.
So, I kind of stepped back, the other day and asked myself, what do you want the car to be? Previously, i'd been sliding down the slope, buying "better" parts, while doing work and studying the physics, mechanics, material improvements posted on our threads.
I am aiming for a quick, sharp handling fun car, something i can take to the track a few times a year for dE events, canyon carving and take out to the market on occasion.
This is a fun, semi retirement journey. It is fun to see others actualizations of their vision - and how they make it happen.
