My Entrance Exam-I Hope I Passed

[kstrause]

The story must be all too familiar. Hit age 50, think "I need to try something new." I've always loved classic cars, but only from a distance. I thought long and hard about what might be a car that was fun, practical, fairly easy to work on, somewhat "outside the box," but with a good supply of parts and knowledge. The '02 was high on the list and emerged as number 1 when this one came up locally. It had great documentation, needed mostly body work, and I thought "one year, maybe two and it will be on the road." Three years later I'm just about ready to light it up again for the first time since I bought it. Along the way I discovered a great web site with tons of helpful and friendly participants. Over the years I've posted the odd question and always got great advice. But mostly I've been lurking, reading and taking it all in. I've learned as much by reading the FAQ as I have working on the car. Anyway, here's my application to the fraternity, rescuing one that might have eventually gone the way of all good things:

Great job! Looks great, and I'm sure you'll get the door alignment done soon.

Congrats!

Great job indeed! I have to say that you took a brave start if you really didn't have any experience before. Many would have passed that car for the first project.
