The owner of the car has made the decision to sell because he knows he'll not be able to finish it.  I know the chase is a big part of the fun in this hobby and if you want to follow along with me as I pick the project up just friend me on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1767933072).  I will be picking the car up this weekend.  Ride along with me!

Does this mean Cindy gets put on the back-burner for awhile?

Cindy is full speed ahead!  She has her new paint and I'm working on sanding her smooth to put a couple more coats of clear on.  The hard part is pretty much done and I'll start putting her back together this this spring

Betty (hasn't made a public appearance yet) is next in line for the full auto spa treatment.  Her makeover will start in the next few months.  She's a beautiful B5 4 speed.

This unnamed purple 4 speed will have to wait at least 12 to 15 months to get her turn (along with the $32,000 71 Cuda project famous from this site).  I have dreamed about a purple 4 speed with white interior and white stripe, however if someone else needs a project she can be purchased.  This is a hobby for me so the price would be fair and not to flip the car for big profit (so no dealers).  I would prefer the car stay local as I really enjoy working on cars around other people and making new friends.

I'll be watching!

I'm there Cody, the cool factor of a short throw pistol grip surrounded by purple and white would be off the chart. :smokin: :grinyes: :smokin:

I'm getting excited!  Hooking up the trailer soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   No matter the project, it's always so much fun to go get them.  :burnout:

This old girl is pretty rough and needs a LOT of love to bring her back to her glory, but she can be saved.  Someone painted her orange many moons ago and the current owner started the restoration but gave up.  He asked if I'm afraid of ladders!  I'm guessing the parts will be stored in some sort of attic.  :clueless:  Maybe he has some of new sheet metal already!  That would be a nice surprise.

We'll all find out what he has real soon.....

You got a very nice list of cars and if you were closer I'd be happy to help out.

Representing our favorite site today (that is the club shirt from way back).  Anyone still have their shirt?

Look for me driving down I-5 from Washington to Oregon.
