Thank you very much, Bill.....I now feel TOTALLY inadequate...

Beautiful car, beautiful job

I still have more corgi's than you, but they still can't hold a wrench yet...And I thought they were smart.

I love Corgis (Pembroke and Cardigan). I adopted one from the Va. Beach SPCA a few years ago. She was true to her breeding and would try to herd the Great Danes by biting at their feet. They kept picking her up and dropping her over the 6' fence so they would'nt have to deal with her. She is now the keeper of the hearth at my sister's in Tn. Splendid little beasts.

P2 looks great. I look forward to seeing the final product at V@V. Still have good memories of Nathan driving my former M2 there a few years ago. Tim

It was really nice working on Bill's car - everything was clean!

We had a great day: the weather kept getting better and better and the few little problems we ran into, we were able to solve pretty quickly.

With Bill's seemingly limitless supply of lumber scraps, we didn't need a lift. We had the front of the car over 30" off the ground. I find it hard to see how one could wrestle the subframe into place if the car was on a lift overhead. We old guys just lay on the ground and pushed with our feet, or used a 2x4 and a long lever off a nearby retaining wall to move the ATV jack sideways the last inch.

Corgi wasn't much help though; Dutchess barely opened her eyes to look at me from her bed.....

tomorrow and testing everything. Hope to have it at V@V

Michael - no matter what motor I had in that car, I could not run away from that 1600. It is an awesome little car.

That shop dog is pretty worthless!

Just too dang purdy. Almost too nice to drive.

I love all the little details too. the shifter platform, plug wires & guide sleeves, etc.

you continue to raise the bar with every project. Excellent work.

Hell yeah...I can't wait to take that thing for a Bee-double-ee-double-r-u.n

Freakin' awesome Bill!

Soon P2 will be tearing it up!

Later,

So that's what everything looks like when it's not caked in 35 year old grease.

The fender flares are so well done I almost didn't notice them.

Your sequence of pictures really does a great job of documenting the process. Without a doubt, this is one of the coolest posts I've seen. Nice work!

Then I am totally inadequate as my car doesn't hold a candle to Bill's and I have no corgis either!

Great job Bill. Most impressive. You shine above us all. : )
