Here's a show and tell from my lift at Rothsport. I'm turning a 1989 C4 into a C2 that will get some back dated bodywork to create an SCRS.
Dropped the entire front drive unit onto jack stands to remove all the 4WD parts.

Here's an action shot of the SCRS on tarmac.

Super In Law is heading north to pick up another parts car today.
Hopefully I'll get enough out of it pay for the tank of fuel.

Seems like the 2 -3 days that we are working out at the shop the time has been spent getting reorganized so we can be working on 2-3 cars at one time.

Super In Law is heading north this AM to pick up another parts car. He's picking up one of his Federal Highway retirement buddies in Vancouver for company. I got a feeling it will be a Bondomoblie. But all I'm hoping for is door posts, center tunnel and pedal box. That will pay for the fuel.

Sitting here this am, its 56 degrees. I may have to come back to my car and get the epoxy sprayed. Hmmm. The SPI need 65 degrees for 24 hours.

But when I'm not on this thread I'm on one of these two threads. Plan now is to get Mark's For Sale car done, then go back to Doug's car for a month.

On a side note. I'll will shoot a couple shots of one of our members getting a new FAT motor installed in his 914 race car here at Rothsport. The engine is a piece of artwork. It's a 22xx. Big 911 fan. Dry sump. It's Bitchn. Then it gets all the Gamroth little tweaks.

Oh yeah, the 2056 D-Jet that came out might be for sale. I'll keep you posted.

We had kind of a scare with Super In Law yesterday in Tumwater picking up the POS parts car. He got dizzy (again) when they were finishing up the loading of the car. This is the second incident in the last week. Luckily he had his buddy George to drive home. I left early and drove to Vancouver to pick him up. This is an 86 year that has only spent one day in the hospital his entire life. I think it scared him enough to let us take him to the hospital. They found a couple things they want to watch so he spent the night for a heart monitor recording.
I'll keep you posted. But this POS car just might have saved his life, or at least quality of life. We had a little chat about having a stroke and how that would change the quality of the rest of his life. That ended his push pack on staying for observation.

Now for the POS 72.

I should have been paid to take it away. Or at least got a couple packages of Sawsall blades.

I guess this was a flood damaged car from Centralia, Wa.

Here's what I see at first glance.

Both bottom rears of the front fenders.
Maybe a steel left rocker panel.
The center section of the front trunk panel. I'll cut it out whole.
Maybe the center tunnel and pedal cluster mount.
Drivers long will come out whole. From rear trunk to the door post.
Right door post.
Then the little bits and chrome will be inspected for value.

I think I can get my tank of fuel back. LOL

I wish Super in Law a speedy recovery. The monitors are small nowadays so he shouldn't be put off by it. At this stage in life he will probably be looking at a pace maker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I hope I'm still producing in 21 years. If he's anything like me, your going to have to put a lock on the garage.

But thru the years we've become best friends. I'm kind of dreading every year that passes by.


Hi Cary, I've always admired your posts and your work. But the best part has been the running story about Superinlaw. Reminds me of my Dad who passed away at 91, living in the home he built to the end. Living far from home I dreaded the days passing without my being there. Take care of yourselves and damn if you aren't living the good life! On a sadder note, groceries will never be the same without you. I used to love shopping Albertsons. Maybe not anymore. My nephew just left QFC after 15 years to get a PhD in history.

He's been released from prison and will be home in a bit.
Going in tomorrow to get a 48 hour recorder put on.
The wife and I's doctor will take him as a new patient(closed practice), and he has an appointment for Tuesday.

I'm thinking at 86, the heart is getting worn out. Congestive heart failure.
But there not going there yet. Unchecked high blood pressure, 180/20, dehydration and the heat.

Don't need any prayers tonight. At one time there were 3 pastors in his room today. LOL. He's got connections.

Cary, sorry to hear about the "pops" in law's health scare.
Hope it all turns out for the better.
Maybe some high blood pressure meds, etc.
Need to keep that good team of you and him together for many more years.
Thoughts to all....

Yeah, they often avoid that term these days, even though it can be exactly the problem. But if he is having arrhythmia spells, an indwelling pacemaker might buy some quality years. Glad to hear he is well connected with the vicars. So he has that going for him, which is good.

Ha, I saw that ad when it 1st popped up, but it looked too rough to bother even in the couple of pics posted. LMK if the front panel is salvageable id be interested.
If you were hoping to score a tunnel and cant harvest one, I have one.
Good luck with Pops health Im sure you know it gets rocky from here out.
