Jackal Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) The car comes home to my parking stall tomorrow, and if I decide not to sell it, It will be there until my next attempt at the OOP in the spring. If you would like further detail I can provide it, but not here. The main challenge appears to be that I require bumpers, but have yet to receive the qualifications the bumper must meet from the government authority. I may be at that point were the joy the car could give me has been eclipsed by the pain it has given me. I will be taking serious consideration to selling it over the winter.

yellowss7 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hang in there Duane. I remember when I was dealing with a Frustrating dealer who I bought the kit from, and after almost 14 months, I thought that my Dream had turned into a Nightmare. But after getting sufficiently pissed and having a good lawyer send a nice little note, I eventually got it on the road. 13 years later now, the frustration was worth the wait. Plus Yellow cars are the best looking ones. :leaving: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 You are not seriously going to let the powers that be win are you! Get the spec for the bumpers, put the damned things on, get it thru the inspection and then take them off...come on Duane it's time to drive that thing!!!

XR4Bill Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Keep on with the program Duane. Once your up and on the road, you will be very pleased with yourself and it will all seem a distant memory. Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3 Stalker Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Duane, Maybe time to contact the kit supplier to see if he can help. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR4Bill Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Duane, we missed you yesterday at the meet. Have you made any more progress with the project as we havent heard from you in a while? Its getting close to :driving: time. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 The short answer is "No". I have been having challenges getting motivated to get out an work on her. I have a list of things to do to get it ready for the test, but she just gathers dust. Last year I had a tough time with the inspection fail. Not so much with what I did incorrectly (minor things), but with the items I was asked to change that don't seem to apply to any of the other cars. This has resulted in my lack of motivation to even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancylad Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Come on Duane, one last kick at the can. The car would be more sellable if it was on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I hope to go get the car started this weekend. I have had gobs of stuff keeping me busy recently. First up will be a bath for her and a run down on the stuff that needs doing. Some things got removed and moved around for storage. The motivation for the project is my biggest hurdle at the moment. The inspection last year took the wind from my sails and I haven't been able to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
