Hey Geoff, that is Hans car. I have old pictures of it from the 80's. You probably are too you to remember them. You were still being breast fed by the neighbors goat. ^_^

NOOO  WAAAYY!!!!!!  Thats cool!!  That is the first and only car that I've owned
where I did a complete pan off job . I was working at Bow Wow at the time
and spent countless hours in thier sandblaster and every one of my pay checks
for about 6 mounths untill I finished it just in time for Seatle bug in. Probably
1983 ish .  That car saw ALOT of summer miles, some track time too, Ashcroft,
Mission and Seatle. Also a few local slalom events . Sure good to hear it will
be on the road again. Can't wait to see it !!
