Hello all,
I`m from Burien, which is a subureb of Seattle, hence the moniker, rainycity.
I`m just about to start my 1st classic car restoration, which is a 1968 El Camino which I traded for my "classic" (heh-heh) 1981 Subaru GL station wagon and $400.00 to a friend and co-worker who needed a good running car. I was first introduced to the camino after I was asked if I could help him get it off the side of I-5 and tow it back to his house (he just lived a few blocks from me). Well, we got there and there was no car in sight, (yep, it was gone) and after about 3 weeks he was called and it was found sitting in some shady apartment buildings parking lot missing the carb, valve covers, and a few other misc engine parts along with some other interior stuff. But, to make a short story long, his girlfriend (now ex gf) wanted it out of the front of her house (along with the truck he bought for the engine) I let him store in my back lot for 2 weeks, and after about 6 weeks of waiting to put in the new motor h he decided that he had to sell it and get a running car, I offered the trade and he said thanks. So here I am the owner of a 1968 el camino ready to embark on a journey of restoration.. It`s not in bad shape at all, but has been pretty neglected. Anyways, theres more to it but I wont bore:boring: ya all with all the details. (y/w)
