A long time ago, I pretended to sell my car. The only reason why I did this was because I was tired of everyone bugging me about finishing the car or selling it. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I’ve been able to get the car running and pieced together.
Given that it is now a running car, there is now pressure to sell it and move on. This has come from all sorts of sources. To be honest, I cannot part with this car, not right now, not anytime soon. I’ve had the car for almost five years now, I’ve busted knuckles, and gone through back pains…hell, I even have a scar above my right eyebrow from dropping a transmission mount on my face. I drove this car when I was stressed, and in turn it made me smile. I know that we are not supposed to have personal attachments to inanimate objects, but I’d argue that this car has a soul of its own.
Now that the car is running, I’ve been meaning to formally thank those who have helped me button the car up.
- AJ for coming over countless times to figure out wiring
- Chris for helping me put the motor in and sort out exhaust fitment
- Keith for helping clean out the bay, organize the wiring, and also put the motor in
If it wasn’t for the help from these dudes, I probably would still have a shell in my parents’ garage collecting dust. I’ve expressed interest in other projects, but there is still more to be done on this car. Let it be known, this thing isn’t going anywhere for a long time.
I can’t wait to get back out there and enjoy my car.
