Tony's roller! Liz wanted to build one instead of buy one running, so Nico and I conspired to surprise her:

Hey Joe, I got a 2 liter engine for it if you need one, check the classifieds. It would even match the year.

Holy Crap!!!! Nico actuallly kept a secret! I guess I should apologize to him for calling him cheap on Tony's thread when he wouldn't let me buy it. Little did i know they already did!

It showed up at 9:00 this morning, (I went to bed several hours before that...) I was supposed to be able to sleep in on Mother's day... this was worth it though! I just wish Luckie let me at least brush my hair and put on proper underclothing before she started taking pictures! I guess the truth is out. I don't look as stellar in the morning!

Thanks to Joe, Luckie, and of course Nico for the best Mother's day/ Birthday ever!!!!

Be on the look-out for the thread... or maybe I should do a blog... for the rebuild of this one. I'm waiting until Joe can get released from prison... i mean WORK... to come home so we can dismantle it to the shell, and get started!

My first Teener!!!! I'm so excited!

Liz Ortiz

Cool, this will be exiting!

Tell us what the plan is on the car, besides being a 6.

Tell us what the plan is on the car, besides being a 6.

Strip shell to bare metal.
Blue paint to match either Kelly's /4 or Joe Sharp's /6.
Narrow body.
2.7 or 3.0 w/CIS
901 tranny
5-bolt w/A Carrera calipers in the front and /6 stock brakes in the rear.
Early bumpers in either fiberglass or chrome.
Cookies, Fuchs or Boxter wheels.
Whatever seats will accommodate Nico.

Of course, these are my ideas for the build (except paint color, that's Nico's). We're going to try to drive this car to WCC06, so we'll have to get right on it.

Liz and I will sit down for a couple of hours when I get home to set the direction for the details.

I want to do the full build for less than $20k.

Sounds killer! Maybe I ought to start on the white car again...

Posted by: Howard May 8 2005, 11:53 AM

Have a 2.7, CIS, 5bolt rear adapters, 901 tailshift in the shed. Don't know if I'll ever get to this project (stuff it in an RSK replica).

Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Posted by: TonyAKAVW May 8 2005, 12:04 PM

Congrats!!! I'm really glad to see this roller is going to be in good hands and fixed up right. I'm really anxious to see how it comes out!

Happy birthday Liz!

-Tony

That's so awesome Liz!!!! Nico is such a great guy, and that is the best birthday/mothers day gift I've seen yet.

Enjoy the teener and Happy Birthday!

NICO IS MY HERO!!
(you hear that Scott? I'm waiting for my teener.... )

You guys will get to follow this one from start to finish. We'll do it on one thread, so it's easy to keep up to date.

Like I said, we've got 13 months. Ready, set, GO!

Liz,

Congrats!
Looking forward to your tread.

I was looking to buy another -6 ..but considering the amount of
different 'project's I have going, my wife asked me to 'just' enjoy what I currently have and spend the rest of the time with the family

Posted by: rick 918-S May 8 2005, 10:19 PM

Damn! I was watching the classified thread Liz. I felt real bad for you when I saw the car sold. Very Nice shell! Congrads you guys! We'll bewatching!
