Yes, it had been a little over two years in my possession.

My initial plans were spec racing. The motor was rebuilt to stock spec- it got a new head gasket, cam tower gasket, rear seal, complete oil cooler gasket set, intake gasket set, new crank key, new balance shaft sprocket, new belts, new covers, heater core bypass, and a nice coating of ceramic paint. Internally, the motor showed true to the 94K on the odometer (the car has 94K on it, not 97K as in my original 2008 post..).

After a near complete strip down (all that remains intact is what you see there- the chassis, some glass, and the rear suspension) the interior got the sound deadening removed and painted white, readying it for a cage.

It was this time last year when I was overloaded with my work as chief engineer of a formula car racing team that I had to abandon the project.

For about what I have invested in the car, Sid got everything I had- in boxes. I really wish I had time to complete it, or at least finish the engine bay and get the drivetrain back in her.

Regardless, I know now that it is in good hands and I'm whole heartedly excited to see it continue on it's journey with another Pelican. This was going to be a semi-budget build for me, and I'm certain that the car can be competing in autocrosses for less than another $1500 into in.
