    So I found this car after I gave up on the countach and it was it for me. I knew what I was getting into and made a good deal on this car. She's rough around the edges and I'm planning on driving her for a month or two and then getting her fixed up properly. She has lots of small issues, and rust! Planning on having it all fixed and set the budget aside. Hopefully, I'm on target with what I expect.

    Drove the car all day today around LA and she is awesome. Sounds so incredible and surprisingly zippy. Same car was on ebay previously with a outlandish posting of "sebring edition" and "california rust". LOL

    So I'll be posting lots and lots of questions and asking for help to put her back into good condition. So many things wrong in reality and its still such an awesome car.

    Just got off the phone with Braden.

    I'm going to drive her for a month or until I feel like I can part with her, and then ship it there. I really want to do it right and their work has been top notch on everything I've seen.

    Very excited!

    Congrats Drew!!!

    It is awesome that you are driving such a great car. Many people here will be more to help you bring her back to life as time sees fit, but in the meantime, enjoy the Hell out of her!
