Here is a glimpse of future posts and projects (yeah, it didn't look right to me either when I typed it).
A 1984 Volvo 245DL wagon (the brick). I got it for a song ($300) and with over 265K miles it still runs like a top. Only now running is not the problem, stopping is. It has developed a problem in the power brake booster and it loses the power assist randomly ( you'll want to remember to bring a change of underwear when you drive this one). We are looking to do an engine swap with this one, possible even go with a rotary and a 5 speed tranny (we'll see or should I say you'll see).
A 1983 Mustang GT convertible ( the widow maker). As seen in the background in one of the previous posts. This car is an original GT but has a transplanted long block from a '91 along with the T5 and and 8 3/4 rear diff. I have replaced the fuel injection with a Holley 750 double pumper and Edelbrock intake. Future mods to this car will include a roll cage, fuel cell and lots of bodywork. I would like to take this car to SCCA and Autocross events in the future.
A 1985 Honda Goldwing Aspencade (the new scoot). I picked this one up after I sold my wife's Ninja 250R. She wanted another bike and I know she still wants a crotch rocket but this is one we can both ride on for long trips. It has 102K miles on it so I will have to do some mechanical maintenance, but the motor runs very well. Unfortunately, the bike has seen a lot of weather over the years and it shows. So new chrome, a seat and some bodywork have to happen before I can lay some paint on it.
