Default I'm back :)

Update. that 1980 US 928 that everyone said was worthless and beyond repair sold this week for nearly 4k. It is amazing what some body work can do.

I have decided to abort the SBC concept for my 1984 Euro. It is currently running, and is about to go in for a full resto mod.

I pulled the gas tank in the euro, and it was filled with sludge, I just ordered a new fuel pump and filter. I am guessing that it will run even better now.

Congrats on the sell!

Looking forward to see what you do with the 1984 Euro. I am currently in a resto-mod type build with my '81 Euro as well.

Best of luck.

Ready for a next project? =D

I know of a cheap one in San Diego (sub 800) sadly shipping will cost too much.

New fuel pump and filter on the way for the Euro. The euro sat in a field for 2 years...before that though, it must have been garaged. I say this because all of the under hood fittings (ac lines, etc) are still shiny.

I should have it dialed in nicely one the new pump gets here. When it turns over, it sounds SOOOO much meaner than the 80 US did.

Finding a sucker never hurts, either.
