How GN's live there lives

[meanchicken]

Hey Brent....don't try getting on that bike and peddling while it's sitting like that

OUCH!

Sound like another Art Carr story. I was apart of one "story" until I went to Len Freeman.

Garage

built a ton of 2 stroke stoker motors when i work for Rick Peterson Motorsports (RPM's) when they were in covina

I haven't driven my car in 17 months. Trans issues too. Bought a house and then found out how much $$$ that takes up. Hope to fix the trans in the next few months and get back on the road. Camry's suck after 17 months of no boost. Usually I drive it for 30 minutes 1 once a month, for just a few blasts and then 2 trips in the fall to the drag strip and then 2 trips in early spring to the strip. Usually run 3 times each visit. Pretty much a garage car for it's whole life.

I think this was one of my first post, and thought I would bring it back to life.

What started out as a simple replacement of manifold gaskets turned into this

 

[daves87gn]

Thanks Lee,
it sure snowballed quickly, I can't seem to leave anything alone:redface: what started as a little upgrade ended up like this, you know how it goes, up grade one part then, you got to upgrade the corresponding parts:biggrin: and so on

speaking of upgrades how the stage car coming along?

 

[meanchicken]

I gotta ask....did you find the manifold gaskets yet?
Keep digging....they're in there...somewhere...:tongue:

My GN"s life

I restored mine almost 10 yrs ago ,Have driven it 974 miles since restoration,I keep it under 2 yes 2 car covers and i also put moving blankets on it , and....also cover the tires so i dont get the car cover dirty.NOW THATS JUST SICK. People ask me whats under the cover...I tell them just an old BUICK. But i did drive her last saturday.And man was she screamin .Its sad but its just to nice to drive .and also worry about theft.Im sure when i die the person that gets it will drive the livin sh** out of it .

Mine are Garage art- under wraps unfortunately... (Kept getting too dusty)

I have several and rarely ever take them out to play... I'm so far out in the rural areas that I have to make long distance drives to find cruises and shows... No other TR's in the vicinity... All by my lonesome here...:frown:

Last guy that wanted to run me was in a raggedy jeep cherokee.

Other than that this is Mustang, Camaro, and SS Monte territory...

At least the cars never see inclement weather or much direct sunlight so the paint is very nice.

 

[dank GN]

drive mine everyday wouldnt have it any othere way
