      Test Drive

      I got to go for a test drive today, what a rush after so long of waiting. The car ran, drove straight, stopped, everything was great. Thanks to Gearhead Garage for all their hard work, and to my wife who has supported me, and told me to get it done the way I wanted

      The lighting wasn't too good, but are a few pictures.

      I will be driving it to Sac. Autorama, where it will be in their display.

      Congrates Mike. It looks awesome. They do great work up there. The trunk is very tastefully done.

      So...how much smoke have yet out of the back tires?

      Link suspension in the rear? Sorry, I've been gone for a little bit.

      Mike, what seats are installed in your car, they look great. Do you have a better pic of the seats?

      Hey Vince,

      Just a little smoke so far.

      Minitubbed in the rear, with DSE 2" drop springs, slide a links, not sure if you remember, you did the minitub and axle shorten for me.

      Pulls straight, and drives nice.

      The seats are Carbeau GTS if I remember right. They cut down the bolsters so my round body would fit better, then covered them in leather.

      I don't have pictures with me, but there are some in the below link.

      Well, I got to drive my car yesterday to Cal Expo Autorama, it will be inside with a bunch of cars from Gearhead Garage. Parked right next to Bassi's car. What fun that was, after 14 years, even brought my 4 year old with me. He liked it too. I was so worried about driving, looking at it, watching and feeling, Jason had to remind me to smile. Forgot to bring a the camera. It is all I hoped for. I am so excited, its getting closer to coming home.

      Very nice. Trunk looks sweet.

      The only thing getting me is the boost and fuel level gauges sticking out. It's just looks unfinished compared to the rest of the car.
