Agreed, Brew. I'd rather do a motor swap. Found one down in Vegas for 1500. Not sure I want to tow that sum8!tc4 that far though, but it's probably rust free. Interior was bad though.

Matt posted this photo of all of the invites he sent out.... I see Project Farm on the list. Sweet. I do not see Paul though... weird.

Ah, I didn't realize there was that much disparity. Never mind. Move along. Nothing to see here.....

There are actually a couple of these rolling around Utah. I saw this one at a car show in 2018. That's my Buddy's 65 in the background.

You can go the Cambodia route and buy 5 of these.



Come with matching tennis shoes.

WHY is that? I have the SCab and remember the torsion bars during the trans upbuild from, BCA(?) when mine went at 280k. (Great shop; Darrin too!)
Hard coming out (the torsion bars) w a young wrench's help. I derusted it prior to replacing it. He bit¢hed when I painted it saying there'd be NO clearance to reinstall. But I wiped the paint away with a rag, leaving only what remained in the rust pits, greased it, again removing most w a rag, cleaned the receiver holes. Went it like liquid snot, to his youthful great joy. My SCab and I will help him move 6 blocks as he expands 415Mechanix in 2 weeks.

Why did adding ~6" to it to make it a SCrew make the front need a suspension change?!?

I see Laura Farms as well. So what does experienced and non experienced mean exactly. I must be missing everything at the moment. lol.
