I’m an owner now!

by McFly88 on August 16, 2008

Yea, the post about me chasing the dream, well, it worked out for me and now I own a 1981 DMC-12, grooved hood, grey interior, 5 speed, grey wheels. Now the task of getting it back on the road begins.

The official project name isĀ  “Project Phoenix”

“She may not look like it, but she’s got it where it counts”

I’m going to need an engine, section of the engine cradle, and some fiberglass repair, plus a frign drivers side torsion bar before she is ready to take to the streets.For those that know engines, I’m thinking SR20DET. Helluva lot cheaper than a DMC crate PRV, 1/3 the cost, and twice the power.

I have friends that make 6 figures a year and just blow money on anything. I’ve got to pay him back of course.

I had $1k on hand and just borrowed $1500, or pretty much an oil change for his Ferrari lol….
