Moved it for you.

Congrats on the car! I know you've been looking for a replacement for a long time now. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. 8)

Dude that thing looks way better in that wet parking lot than it did in my snow covered garage. I wish you all the best in restoring this car. I loved driving it and I know you will to. If you so happen to get it running before you rip it apart let me know what was wrong with it. Also, if you don't keep us updated with hoards of pictures I'm going to call U.S imigration and tell them that my car was stolen :lol:

All the best John

Yes, it is basically the same house that burned, on the same lot, but with some nice additions, like an air conditioned garage. :D I am a building contractor so I am doing most of the contracting work myself while keeping my friends, electricians, framers, etc. busy. See, some good can come of the worst situations! I got the Colt stared yesterday, It ran like new.

More to come
-John
