  • Howdy.. New here

    Hi there;

    After spending a few months subletting shop space from a guy with a BPT '95Tracer Wagon the bug has bit me. Mostly I have known and loved cars much older than me... early 70s Cadillacs, a 1951 Buick, etc etc.

    But now...

    Craigslist helped me find a 93 Festy.. with a slightly dubious cage... and a supposedly running B6T somewhat installed.

    The bug has bit. Aside from minor issues like no interior and a passenger side crease and a windshield with multiple BB holes in it, I mostly have wiring to deal with. Previous owner got happy unplugging everything from everywhere and leaving many cut leads.

    But dealing with that is a small price to pay for the fun it seems everyone has with these cars.

    So, "Hi!" And thanks for having such a great site. I look forward to hanging around here...

    Regards,

    Jeremiah

            haha you mean 2 owners back, i never touched the wiring on that thing, it scared me too much.

            if i see any parts locally for you, i`ll let you know. there was a guy out in saugarties (i think) parting out a capri xr2 motor/trans on HV craigslist.
