Just wondering what everyone will be up to this fall/winter.
Who's building what, more HP? new paint? new car?

*I have my hands full with the Porsche bus, It's still a long way off and hope to have it done for the spring.

*Somewhere inbetween now and then I would like to go thru my motor in the oval.
*Finish the interior in the notch.

*Build a full length roof rack for the bus.

*Start a new project oval  B)

Now all I need is time and money :blush:

I don't know if anybody is interested, but I'm building a new gearbox. My old gearbox did a \"Lanny\", but not quite as badly.

Hey Snapper Head I know of 2 f/g buggies in Delta. I think they are the ones Bow Wow used to sell. I talked to the guy a few years ago about them and he said they would never be for sale but I can get the adress for you if you want to try him again. It's by my folks place near Delview Park.

Start the 57 vert, Mark and bag it, look at it get upset and walk away.

And try to dummy up the motor for PROJECT 56 CANADIAN OVAL WITH A BLOWER!!!
Im sure I'll screw that up too!

And sell the rest of my stuff off so I can buy a house!

I know of one. Not sure if it's a real Manx but it sure as hell looks like one.
I know it's not one of the cheesy-looking ones though.
No motor, but it's on an IRS and I believe it's registered.
PM me next week. I'll talk to the owner on the weekend and see if he's willing to part with it.
Oh, it's in Surrey as well.

Cheers...

Finish off the 2332 for the 56, and get all the drivetrain done for it also. Hopefully have the body in primer by late winter. Have the car ready for next years GCVWS.
Spend some time getting the mechanical done on the 53 BD singlecab so I can use it for what is was designed for next summer.
Ice race the hell outta my Scirocco while I fly past blown up Honduhs on the track. :lol:  Yeah I know it's watercooled, but it's a helluva a lot of fun, and it makes the winter fly by. :D
