I was gonna let the Roach go for a project car to a buddy...
I came to my senses and realised theres more to this than just a car...theres a whole lot of me in there,more than a dash of APR and ECS tuning and a bit of the modshack....I had to keep it if only for historical reference.
It still has to visit the bodyshop for rocker replacement spoiler install,Caratere grill new headlights (in Ti, cheers Bob) and fix the 3.2 nose...the its adios to the LM's to get them refinsished after they had been used for a "Driving by feel" course
I did finally get AC today...had a dead compressor clutch...my tech was able to salvage one from an old compressor and hook me up with cool cool air...it gets hot down here near The Swamp...the dash indicated 111 deg a couple of times today....not to mention fla's horrific humidity along with that magic number...wasnt fun rollin with no air.
If anyone is close to Gainesville FLA and needs an awesome tech with good skills with our cars I email me for some info
