Thread: Hi Guys I'm roid from Kitchener

Welcome aboard.

Man, that looks a lot like my old car........so of course I like it! Right down to the mirror placement.................

EDIT: The similarities are amazing. The C.E. center X, the same front suspension, every piece of it, the exhaust manifolds and most of the other engine hardware, the three row louvered hood sides, the wheel stagger..........wow. No interior info here, but that's where the more unique stuff is. If the floor is clear of shifter and park brake, and the dash molded opening around the gauges is the same this might be a coincidence of the century.

What a story..........the car left my garage in primer near finished about a dozen years ago, went to a buddy in Vancouver Wa. He did the finish work, paint, interior, some detail work, and sold it off to a guy in Arizona (IIRC). That's probably where it got the A/C added. After that I had no clue until this morning. Amazing!!!
Here's a pic of the interior as my buddy did it. The shifter being under the dash is out of sight, the park brake is visible at the end of the dash next to the kick panel. I'll add a pic of the dash area during construction just for fun.
If you want to communicate at length we can either do it here on the thread if others could be entertained or you could send me a Private Message with your email address and we can do it that way.

we can do here if members would enjoy and if you want I will send you my E-mail also. does not seem the car has been used much have an immediate question for you, could you tell me what the front brakes are? they look like small S-10? and rotors? did you build the frame? I have so many questions. The car appears to be like new, but the rad was very old 1982 stamped and bad. The guy I bought it from had the Vintage air put in. wow so many questions. roid
