Wooohooo, look what I found!!!
« on: May 24, 2006 - 05:29:00 AM »
Well after 13 years in storage, the last 7 of which were 2 hours away, I have finaly have the space the bring my car home.

My wife and I bought our first home and moved in 6 months ago. After more than six years in basement appartments it was a nice change. I have been waiting to bring my car home the day after we moved in.

My dad trailered it to my place on Saturday as my birthday present. What a great suprise it was to see it coming down the road!! 

Needs a lot of work, but it is nice to have it home. :working:

Spent a couple of hours on Monday playing with the carb trying to get it run, Dad had it running but the carb is shot. Cool...time to rebuild the carb!

What a weekend!

That is a long time to not have your car at home and be in storage. I would have been going crazy not being able to drive it. Good luck getting it back on the road.
