Awesome can't wait to see some times for that thing, or see it in person!

[gergwheel]

You'll get to see it this summer at one of the meets probably one that is close to central ohio. Do you remember who i am Nachius?? i came down there and looked at your talon you were selling.

[Nachius]

Yea I remember, I have a 94 laser I'm working on now.

It's in a million pieces, but has a built block on the bright side [img]smile.gif[/img]

[gergwheel]

good deal, why you buying rice? weren't you trying to sell your camaro?

[Nachius]

It's not rice ;)
Plymouth? [img]smile.gif[/img]
I payed a TOTAL of $670 for it including getting it towed from north of columbus to chillicothe.

as far as the camaro goes, I'd love to keep it, but am building a new house now and need the money :(

[gergwheel]

Here are some more up to date pics of the car, if everything goes as planned she might be running this weekend, there are also some shots of the muffler i will be using :D . All i have left to do is power steering, torque arm mount, and mount the throttle cable. Then rl has to wire it all up and then its time for some [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] .

if i could have found a turbo laser with less than 150,000 miles I might have bought it.
