Red car back from the ashes
We all thought it was a goner. As I sat on the curb a year ago August watching the Oakland Fire Dept hose down my car......
Here we are today. Friday it will be out of the body shop and back to Greg Brown's for a stroker motor.
Never give up!

I'm surprised you haven't named the car Phoenix at this point.

Well done ! It takes a lot of determination to recover a car in that state - all kudos to you.

This is why I keep plugging away. I think to myself, "Well, if that car can get on the road again..."
