The FD is still in purgatory in my garage.  Had more than my fair share of life events happen in the past few years so it’s just sat idly by.  I sit in it sometimes.


Pictures or it ain’t true!

[emoji106][emoji106] it’s all good.  At least you still have it.  Don’t give up hope.  And shoot for a simple Na setup.  Easier and much more cost effective.

At least the paint is protected by mockup sawdust.

Wish I had a chassis that clean to start with.

We can use it as an excuse to have a norotors bbq!  Wait till spring though so I can drive down with my car.

So here I am on a business trip, waiting at Atlanta airport for my flight.  I think maybe I should swing by norotors, it's been years since i've loitered there.  As soon as I got to the home page I said to myself "I wonder if Jimlab still trolls Mefarri"......Bravo sir, bravo.

This car is going to be the FD barn find of the century in a few years.

No it won’t. They will realize what they found and set the barn on fire.

LMAO so true.

I'd take it in a heartbeat and have it running in a month or two but I doubt I'd want to spend what it would probably go for these days.

Crap has sunroof....pass. /cry
