Hey guys,

Though I'd take a minute to uppdate you all on how the project is going.
For those that don't know about it, I've got an '80 MY that I bought
slightly wrecked
and as I closed in on getting it near done I found an '83 Euro 5spd also
wrecked
and decided to make the '80 into an'83 Euro,big project to say the least.
Anyway the body sits as a skeleton in the garage and now it's just a
matter
of bolting everything into it. I've taken a week of vacation starting

and expect to have the interior installed,and full drive train and
suspension
back on the car by weeks end. All that will be left then is painting the

and during tune-up, timing belt,and fluids.
I hope to have it fully running and driving by the end of May and painted
by
mid July.....except....
My wife Tina who is in the US Coast Guard has applied for a transfer to
Honolulu,Hawaii. While this is terriffic and cool,the job comes open

and throws a big wrench in the 928 plans.
We still don't know if she's gotten the transfer,but if it does come she
thinks
they will want her there 1st week of June.
So now I am fighting with what to do about the shark,I figure I've got 2
options
one is to stay here for a couple months,finish the shark except for paint
I'll
have access to hobbyshop on base there with paint booth)
The second is to pack the car up and put it in storage for 3years till

get
back to the mainland. I'm leaning toward storage because I'd hate to be

from my wife and daughter even for a couple months and I've been hearing
horror stories about what the salt air does to car bodies there,I guess

worse than even S Florida which I know is bad.
I welcome anyones thoughts on what to do with the shark,and I'll

keep you all informed as to what happens with the transfer.

Thanks for the bandwidth

No problem deciding what to do. Stay here and finish the car, then store

at my place for 3 years. I'll keep the spider webs out of the exhaust and

rust off the brake disks. Heh, heh.

That's an easy one

Jim "erector set" Viglietta- from our discussions about his
car/hybrid/kit at the dyno day.

Can't help with the storage, but I would definitely throw a

coat
of

primer

on it and BRING IT TO THE DRAGS! (or not)

-Adam

Well now given enough time to get it road-worthy,registered,and

enough

"shake-down time" I will certainly bring it - yellow,blue,and

grey.

If I'm still here the drag day is the current goal painted or not!

Jim
