Rescue Roadtrip!

[baltimucho]

My build is alive, albeit slow, here... http://www.svocop.com/forum/showthre...-to-86-Project

But since I haven't been able to DRIVE an SVO during the build, this weekend I drove 674 miles to trade my low-milage, super-clean, Bright Regatta Blue 1989 5.0 LX daily-driver,

for a complete, but slightly-hammered 1986 2A...

I drove the SVO 674 miles back, and save for a rear main seal leak, it ran like a champ! It's been repainted and the Medium Canyon Red looks more like Porsche's Metallic Copper Brown...

I really dig the brownish red, and when THIS project is finished... This will be the color.

Since this SVO is complete and not a salvage, I'm going to keep this build "rather" stock. But I won't begin anything major until I have my first project finished! (Famous last words.)

Thanks! We shoulda hooked up while I was staying in Vegas. I'll let you know next time I'm staying there on my way to pick up another SoCal SVO.

Found my car on http://www.svoregistry.com/1FABP28T0GF169138/

Looks like it was in MUCH better shape a couple of years ago!
