It's still a pimp car. Have you got fuzzy dice yet? I dig the idea for the horn. ;) If you can save up enough money, maybe get those nifty rope lights and spinner wheels. lol
if nothing else, Fiorella II now gives me the leeway to mess around on Fiorella Jane and get over my fear of fucking up the mechanicals. i guess the best way to learn cars is to mess with one that's not running as it is ;)
I've found having two definitely makes it easier. I don't feel so bad when one of them is down, since I still have the other one to drive around. It makes one more willing to tinker and DIY.
I wish I'd been making more progress on Project Blitz Black this summer, but this weather's just been killing me. What are your plans for them for winter?
F2 gets my garage space and a car cover to protect against, dust, falling plaster, and of course neighborhood cats.
FJ will be dragged/towed to a carport-style lot up the alleyway from my garage and given her own car cover. my hope is to at the very least have the front end body panels/removed and the front wheel solidified (it took a shot in the accident) before the snow comes, regardless of the eventual plans for her. best (though unlikely) case scenario would be all of that, plus a day at the frame shop to fix that nudged front pillar.
i just want to get her to the point where she's on the edge between "easy restore" and "dream parts car".
tell your dad i said thanks for the vote of confidence ;)
Fiorella Jane has just found a new home in a off-street parking lot just up the alleyway. i'm actually somewhat tempted to look into getting her restored herself, as thinking about it on the drive back it occurred to me aside from the minor frame damage, she still in far too good of shape to part-out...
damn devil on my shoulder whispering "you now own two cars...."

i'm tempted to get something really silly when i fix it...
