Hey Ted, anything new here?

No Sir..

I have it covered and stored inside.
I have been extremely depressed about it.

I have lost motivation for my aero cars but it's so difficult to let them go.

I sit and drool over your car and now the other 86 DPS that stubes just sold is gonna get done up..
I'm not sure if my car can be fixed for sure. It sucks.

I have to find someone who can fix it properly and who cares enough to do it without taking my arm.

It is kinda rare with low mileage and never been painted and auctioned. And it has proof of newer equipment which I like. Something has to happen though! This is my favorite car....

You need to talk to Jason, I was talking with him the other day and he said he's got a frame shop up there that has a magic wand and wizards working there. Talk to him, get it pulled straight, then replace the core-support/fender aprons and start moving forward. He might have some ideas on other stuff too, we talked about your car for about 2 hours the other day. I want to see you work on it! Four-eyed cars are the best, but I could be biased.

Hey Ted.... Dont worry we will get it done right. I have all you need to fix your car from the new parts car. We just need to keep our eyes on the ball and start gathering what you need. It will take a while longer but look what you will have. Keep in touch!

Small update:

I was able to finally get the car titled in my name!

The state had no record of this car so i was forced to get a surety bond.
Now i have plates, registration sticker, and the title will be here in no time.

This means that i can confidently throw money at it without the fear of never being able to drive it legally.

Im stoked!!

Just got the PM, congrats Ted! I can't wait for the teardown and rebuild to commence! Absolutely fantastic news, I'm so glad this car has been given a second lease on life.
