Team Boxwrench - LeMons 2007 "A" Car Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] (#32) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Justin VanAbrahams) on Mon, 5 Feb 2007 13:01:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well, we've just acquired our 2007 24 Hours of LeMons car - a 1988 SPG. Yeah, I know, it's making me cry a little bit to commit an SPG to what, in all likelihood, will be its death. But, this SPG has had a full, good life with 260,000 on the odometer and has enough details wrong that pretty much preclude it being a streetcar ever again... The high mileage, $350 in back registration, a light tap in front and in rear, totally shot suspension, and all the standard wear and tear 19 years and 260,000 miles brings. It would cost thousands to get this car roadworthy again, and I just can't figure a way that someone would wanna spend that kind of money for this kind of car.
So, with a heavy heart and a somewhat lightheaded mind we're gonna strip this thing down to metal and prep it for race... With any luck, rules changes and an improved plan of action, this car will survive. If nothing else, we plan on getting it out to some open track days between now and July - this car will go out with a bang! (And, hopefully not the crippling kind of bang that breaks your steering rack - those bangs kinda suck).
Check it out...
