Hi everyone,
Yes I deceided to pass on this TA, and I know its beautiful but I just happend to find a project that fitted us on Craigslist. We bought a 1979 TA originally heritage brown but was almost completly disasembled and with alot of new sheet metal, an engine and trans rebuild, all new suspension, exhaust and cooling. The gentleman just got tired and run out of money. So my daughters 4 & 5 and myself decided this was the way to go and we went to the local custom shop and talked to the boys they checked it out for us and said Oh, Yeah this is a great deal, so for $2500.00 we bought this car and its now in their hands. They are so cool they have the girls come over and do a little sanding or pre loosend bolt removal so we can get some pics and they can tell daddy-man they wrenched on his ride. The guys at the shop really like the girls there and they really make sure they are part of it and see that the girls are involved in every decision. The car has been stripped down completely, interior, glass, trim, engine, drive train etc and it was sent out to the sandblaster and will be back tomorrow. So even though we had alot of it done for us we are doing a pretty agressive resto on the car and I hope he loves it when its done. If anyone would like to see pics we would love to post them.
I am really sorry that I didn't buy your car this just was the right thing to do when it popped up, and by the way thanks Dave you were really sweet.
Christine
