Yup, we got our "Darksider" Roadster running this long weekend. It was a
thrash to get all the work done, but the SMILE on my face while taking it for a
test ride was worth it!! We put on a set of polished 8 spokes on it to finish
the outside up too, and with the shiney black paint, with stock chrome trim on
the sides, it looks good. Unfortunately I still have film in my camera so I
can't post any pics, but when I can I will. We've been trying to get it ready
for our annual local cruise night and car show (it normally brings in cars from
all over) so that we can show it. Those of you here that I've sent photos to
can appreciate the work we've done just getting to this point, now we're going
to drive it. I've always wanted a vert, after taking several customer cars out
for road tests, but I didn't want another bug vert like everyone else. So
when my son suggested we build one out all of junk type3 parts I had laying here
I couldn't really say no, after all it is a type3 that we're resurrecting from
the grave. Just thought I'd give everyone an update, because I'm happy to get
it going on its own. WOO HOO!! Maybe next year we'll convert it to IRS in the
rear (currently a swing axle), if we don't do it this year first.
