@Bob: IM S6 posted:Whoa. But, I wondered what was going on when you started that Alfa restoration, and I figured something had to give. It's difficult for any man to have two mistresses, and the newer one usually wins out.
You have had good years in that car and you will miss it. I'm older than you, and I've been through a lot of sports cars, both good and bad, and I have no desire to restore another car.
I may change my mind someday, but I'm pretty sure my IM is my last sports car.
Your presence in SOC will be missed.
Bob, my goal as well was to get out of chasing the continual rust issues that comes along with a 30-50 year old car or more. The design of early cars is what I like so I seem to be stuck in the 50's as far as Euro Cars that I like and the others just pale. Now I can be distracted for a moment but when I think of restoring an old car I just can't seem to pull the trigger because... well I still would need to upgrade so much to make it a driveable car that I would be comfortable with.
My IM does it for me , newer powerplant, NO RUST, 911 full front suspension and Rack full subie. I could go on but I understand Marty has trunk envy, maybe Bob and I should send him picts of our front trunks.
