October 22 will be the date. I’m heading to Chicago and selling my Metro to Shop-Teacher for just enough money to get home. I explain things here on Oppositelock, then Shop-Teacher put a Free beer invitation on Oppositelock. We would like to extend the invitation to LALD folks as well.
A quick overview of what’s happening is I’m selling the metro to Shop-Teacher for the price of getting home via airplane plus so e parts I acquired, we are swapping the trans because of a borked second gear synchro brass inner trans workings. Hopefully another junkyard trans will suffice.
Shop-Teacher plans on making it a rally-x beater and having the most fun for the least buck.
You can see his email in his invitation post above. Some other details are still to be worked out.
Also I’ll likely bring some diecast along to save on shipping.
