Default 924 Road Trip Movie

If you remember this thread
https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-944-951-968-forum/190536-ot-wanted-incredibly-cheap-car-for-incredibly-stupid-project.html
yoyoguy2 and I were looking for a cheap car to make a cross country road trip movie with. We ended up buying a '79 924 from Porsche-O-Phile, and here's the resulting movie:

This will take forever to download on my edu address. Funny as most people praise the high speed connections at school, mine is the complete opposite. Super fast at home and slow as hell at school. I look foward to watching this!

yeah, it was quite the trip, she made it home though, no real problems except the heater not working. I'm really thinking of keeping it now, i'm trying to store it in my freind's barn until i manage to get the money to fix it all up, which may actually take forever. i think i'm going to actually drown in projects very shortly...

after the car, hotel, plane, gas, etc i think it totalled around $1200, which is more than i think i can get for the car in it's current shape. i'm thinking it'll be my daily driver... someday...
