I think he is leaving Sunday. Which is why we are pushing so hard to get this thing wrapped up this weekend. Well the wiring at least then I can deal with the rest of the build. then we have to build an MR2 🙂 ---

I know… if I was back in B-Lo I’d be wrenching right along side you guys!!! Because right about when the MR2 is done, I’ll be starting the resurrection of my 'bird; at least that’s the plan if things go even 80% according to plan over the next 12 months. ---

Nice! I will be glad to see the bird come back to life too. I told Luke to just set me up a little living space and ill just live at his place while we marathon build his car haha. I think we can tackle it pretty quickly once this rx7 mess is all cleaned up ---

He’s got PLENTY of extra space at his place; and the combo basement shop and garage shop is perfect. Stuff that you can do inside in the warmth of the house and keep clean, and then the garage for fabrication/assembly. I’ll tell you this whole thread has me dying to get the Bird back together… Funding and the arrival of my Son in 7 weeks prevent it. But next year (pending I can sell my house in buffalo) I can start the parts-collection process 🙂 ---

Absolutely, I’m still game to trailer it out there once it comes time to start the madness. > [@97FormulaWS-6](#): > > On another note… Aren’t you going to be in CO on Sat??? > > Or have you figured out that cloning machine and gotten the bugs worked out… don’t want another Bitch Luke around!!! I am actually leaving Sunday at 5:45 AM. So yeah it will be a fun filled day. I’m actually excited to get this thing on the ground. ![http://charltonhestonsvest.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/stewis-and-bitch1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/e/6eaf00af5e24cb0a73fb3f0d826694745279bbba.jpeg) > [@cougarspeed](#): > > I told Luke to just set me up a little living space and ill just live at his place while we marathon build his car haha. I think we can tackle it pretty quickly once this rx7 mess is all cleaned up :tup: I think once the major body work is done the rest of the build will be so simple it won’t even be funny. But, as of now I am not sure when that will start. Hopefully before Fall comes. I need my car painted and back in my hands by September. ---
