new owner of 1966 spl311-02082

Post by jabel »

Hey Everyone, My name is Jim Abel I live in Wichita, Ks. I've had my car for a few months and made the rookie mistake of deciding to rebuild the engine "since it was out" to replace the bad transmission. I found out the block was cracked, found a used block and it is at the machine shop now. The parts are all here and waiting and I am going crazy... I want to drive my car! I've already met a couple of fellow Roadster owners and look forward to meeting more of you in the future. I will upload some shots of my levitating 1600 later.

Get if fixed and drive it! Took me five years for the first drive in my car. Don't hesitate to ask questions when it starts going back together.

Kyle,

Welcome! There are several other midwest roadster owners around here. I am in WI. We are trying to get a club going again out here. Let us know if you are interested. Check out the clubs section. Good luck with your engine rebuild!
