I love threads like this... gives me MUCH hope for long-term enjoyment! Sure, there's a few groans and creaks and wee lil' problems here and there, but both my wife and I think it all adds to the personality of the car.

Many thanks for posting this thread!

I drop her off in Pasadena, and head on to Irwindale (you all know, where Jesse James races!). On a normal morning, it's about an hours drive. Not bad at all.

Should be starting the new one mid-sept.
Way cool!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Beautiful car Scorp! I hope my '85 looks that good when it gets that many miles on it!

My 94 has 178k on it now. I'm hoping to catch you within a few months though. Mine is in great shape and I'm surprised at how well it still runs/looks after so many miles. Of course yours doesn't look to bad either. Nice pics.
