Default Old idiot, same bs with different spices

Hey I am back, and I don’t think I ever had a build thread in here since the first time.


That said, I bought my car back, after seeing it sit for a few years in a field rotting away.


Here it is over decade ago

Here it is two years ago when I brought it home




and here we are today, hoping to mount the drivetrain this weekend. The engine has fresh seals, good compression and surprisingly healthy cylinders. The autotragic needed a complete overhaul, and I went along with it because that’s my schtick here. It’s got new upgraded friction disks and everything else. If it blows up, I’ll finally 5 speed swap it.







the plan is either go back to MSPNP or give arduino based a try. Also in search of a new hardtop, thinking about going carbon fiber this time on a lot of it.
