I was talking to John at WCR this last weekend and he mentioned that he has a 6 conversion that's about 90% put together. He was waiting for McMark to find him a slot to get it put together, but that was not in the cards. He's having a harder time working on his car lately due mostly to health issues, and I'd really love to see him be able to enjoy this car instead of being a garage queen indefinitely.

I'd like to see if someone local could help head up a work party to help out one of our own to realize the dream of completing this car. I'm willing to donate whatever I can to help out.

Looks like the engine has a fuel leak it's a 3.2. No leaks with key on but while running (Injection side?).

Back glass needs to be installed - I can donate the butyl and setting blocks.

Interior needs to go back in. Not sure to what extent, but he may need some interior pieces. Sounded like it was mostly complete.

I would do it myself if he was local to me. He's in Antioch.
