Here are the pictures of what may end up being The One... At least, the ones I could get, with enough room for me to stand and take the picture. Crowded shop is crowded.

I thought the car was in a junkyard, until I realised It was a garage. Better start cleaning the place before restoring the car! Trust me, the time you'll save in an organised place is enormous. Keep up updated with your work!

'Tis not my place... 'Tis the current owner's place, that I need to dig her out of. My space is, fortunately, far more organized, even if smaller.

Well, interior look clean. This is the most important part when you're looking at an old car.

Man, I miss mine... Farkin sweet man. Just check under the rocker covers and in the fenders.

Just some motivation for what it can look like. 35k is a wee bit steep, but they do a lot of custom stuff to these.

I never thought I would see a Spider go for that much.

If I was going to spend a ton, it would be along the lines of this one: http://www.applemotors.com/turbo.htm

They have done so much to that car and they only want $14k

Yeah, I was pretty surprised at the pricetag on that one too. Of course, you can see how much leather they put into it, and you can see how much attention they put into it, so I can start to see why they would charge that much. Not to say that it fits my budget, but it would be a nice place to drive. That Turbo looks really nice too.

I found my old Bayless Racing catalog! I will try to add some pics of it.

I work on the West End next to Centennial Park, but I live in Hermitage.

Where is this fabled garage with an old Fiat in it?

The big city of Savannah, TN... However, my tiny apartment is on the edge of Percy Priest lake.

Well, if you see a white Mazda3 running around with Japanese plates on the front, you'll have found me. Feel free to wave, shout or throw hundred-dollar bills through the window.
