The new roller is now home! Options

I finally got the new roller home, thanks to the friendly folks at AAA.

Here is it in all its glory, AKAVW II.

So here's the story of this car...

A year ago I decided to drop the engine on AKAVW I to replace a burst oil cooler. Then I decided to do some more work of course, and in the process, discovered how really incredibly crappy AKAVW I really was. So I decided to stop work and have been looking for a roller for a few months. In December, my friend Royce pointed me to this post on the Pelican Parts BBS http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread....threadid=141054 and I thought, oh man that thing must be gone. I sent him an email and in early January I picked it up. That was quite an ordeal, detailed here... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...2&t=7991&hl=tow

So anyway I got the thing towed to my aunt's house in Carlsbad, and it sat in her garage for almost a month. I went and got it Sunday and now its finally home.

So yes, somehow I ended up with the mythical 'free, almost rust free roller.' I still have to get a new title for the car and register it, but I think I've figure out how to do that.

I'm still cutting up the old rusty heap, but I should be able to get started on this in a week or two.
