I’m back! With a new project
« on: October 22, 2022, 08:34:38 PM »
Well, things have changed since the last time I was on here. I’m a bit older, married with a child of my own who we call Tommy Jr. Still have my fathers y88 that I don’t drive nearly as much as a should. Things seem a bit quieter around here than I remember, I hope everyone is doing well. Long story short I have been chasing this car for about 11 years. It’s been in the town I grew up in since new. It was parked it 96’ for unknown reasons. The sellers finally wanted to sell so we settled on a price. Thanks to my good friend Larry for sending me the ad, I was almost to late to the party!! It’s a 78 y88 4 speed. My dream car. It’s rough, but all there. I’m in no rush to restore it, going to take my time and do it right. First and foremost before I put any money into the car, I have to get a title as it was lost years ago. I’ll post some pics 11 years ago, and current state. It’s 100% numbers matching, motor bars over. So we are on the right path. Hopefully I’ll see more familiar faces around here. Hope you all have a great night.

Tommy

Edit: apparently I forgot how to post pictures… will update once I figure it out again. Lol

Nothing as moving as an old pic with misspelling.

Nice to see the spelling police is still in full force. My apologies to you, Pretty sad life you must live.

I appreciate the welcome! It’s definitely been a minute since I’ve been on here. Life gets in the way, and flashes before you know it. Hope you are doing well also.

Absolutely, but changes nothing. No denial here.

Hey Tommy,  I've still got my Y88.  I am in the process of restoring it.  Also a 4 speed. 

I'm also in no hurry, so to speak.  I want to get it running as soon as possible.  But it does take time to do quality work.
