Another Texan ->Dallas Area

[TexasStig]

Ok, I'm finally getting around to introductions. I acquired a 1968 1600 w/ a 5 speed from Colorado that was "in-process" of being restored. I'm turning her into a vintage racer. Serial # 17600, engine #59197. The motor feels strong, but 4 gear pops out (which was disclosed beforehand). I'm (hopefully) bringing the tranny to Steve Ehlers this week.

Good news is I have the 5 speed. The bad news is I have an open diff. So... if any of y'all have and extra LSD hanging around, I'm looking! Hopefully my current diff won't "accidentally" get welded by some rogue mechanic

After removing the stock windshield and getting a cage installed, she's going white with a black hood & trunk.

About me? I've been doing AutoX and HPDEs for about 7 years (first in a Mini Cooper then a Miata). We also recently started a Chump/Lemons team driving a 1988 CRX Si. My Avatar is our logo; We're Team STD... You don't want to catch us.

Definitely! Would love to have a few beers and check out some other Roadsters. Maybe the Flying Saucer in Addison?

Mission accomplished! Had a few of "those days"... As others will attest to, I use 311s as a "mind douche" at work!

If we do a Dallas-area gather, LMK. I'll be there, though sans Roadster.
