cool man... love it

Well,
As far as the business goes I have decided to head down another path.  I'm now an assistant photographer for an editorial photographer based out of Jersey city and have changed gears a bit and will be pursuing my photography career first, before starting a business doing it.  All in all I'm just not sold on big city life.  I miss having normal living expenses with a CAR and a GARAGE, a YARD etc.  The long cold winter didn't help either.  Now that its warming up, who knows, I could fall in love with New York but unless I land some amazing job that offers good money I don't see me staying past September.  My girlfriend and I both have connections in Austin and we have heard great things about the city so that is probably at the top of our list at this point in time.  We have yet to visit but I have heard good things from a lot of people.  Not to mention I could get a 5 bedroom house for what I'm paying for a small apt here.

I'm not really related to my boss but my 2nd step-cousin (his father married my mom's 1st cousin... I think thats correct..??) married my boss's oldest daughter.  So technically I am related but not really.  That said, I am closer to them than I am on paper.  I basically lived with them for more than 5 summers growing up and see them on Christmas etc.  I'm also going to be flying into town for his son's wedding next weekend.  I can't wait to get there and get the car running!  He said it might need new fuel lines (which is pretty common for a car that age, I already found a writeup on how to replace them) but nobody has started it in over a year so who knows what its going to need...  Lucky me I will have almost a week to get it running and do its initial clean out/gutting.  I think there is even a sub box under the rear seat that will most likely need to be gutted.  Should be FUN!  haha...

I found one more pic of the rear...

damn turbo....that is cool man!  what a great deal...  looks like you will have some fun with that bad boy...

Ok, for the price of registration... which is determined by the state and considering these things tend to go for less than $1,000 should be next to nothing.  I'm also hoping to register it as a classic so insurance will be Uber-cheap.  The body has been well taken care of, except for the aftermarket sunroof needs some help but all things considered its in great shape.  I talked to my cousin yesterday and he said that every time he needs to use it, its fired right up.  MAN I can't wait to get down there!  Lucky me there is a good following of these cars and there is a TON of writeups/info.  The big question is to keep it a street car or all-out track car...?  Given my fondness of taking photos I'm leaning towards keeping it a street car and doing a full restoration.  Only time will tell...
