My "New" Car











Well, yesterday Mike picked up the new car. It is a 1982 Porsche 928. As you can see it needs some work. Mike has a work buddy who inherited it when his father passed away several years back. This man had bought it new and only drove it occasionally. Unfortunately he did get in one crash with it so it needs some new paint. Most of the other stuff is from sitting in a barn for 10-15 years. Today we dropped it off at the repair place and hopefully we can get it running. We figured it was a great project for us :)

Jill, I can see where Mike could see the potential. It looks like a great car that you two can have a lot of fun with. Let me know how it rides when you get it running.

FUN!!! It's so cute. Are you gonna keep it white? I think you should go RED.

And, where will you put a car seat?!!!

The most exciting thing, is that I'll actually know someone who has a car older than mine!

Well, when I mentioned Porsche, was thinking something a little more "new"
Just kidding, it looks like it'll be a way fun project. How long are you anticipating before we get to see the finished project?

The shop got it running yesterday so we went and rode in it today. It still needs a lot of electrical work and paint but hopefully we'll have it in about 1 1/2 weeks! :)
