Picked up the red TGP

I bought a house (well, a $86K garage and the house was free w/ the purchase :lol: ) and have been moving and setting up the network around here, so forgive the hiatus. So over the time I've been gone I went and picked up the "Other" TGP. I pulled the trash bag that was covering (well supposed to cover) the windows that were rolled down. :shock: There's a Sunroof. That made me happy. I was debating the drag car thing, but now I think I might restore this thing and put another one on the road. (Still VERY serious about the 3800T being in there though) But making it more streetable. Just wanted to tell you guys the funny story. We (my dad and I) tow it home on a dolly (yes it was a 1990 Honda Civic CRX) and we got to the new house and rolled it off the dolly. We moved the jeep and started to push it. The damn wheel turned and I was like, "Damn, I'm gonna have to hold the wheel." That's when I noticed the pass. side wheel was pointing FAR away from where the dr. side was. So I told dad to push and I would steer it by pusing on the wheel. He rolled it about 3 inches and I noticed the damn tire wasn't moving. I looked under the car and the control arm, nor the rack was bolted to the strut housing. I guess when the car bounced as it cam off the dolly they both popped out of the holes. (There are no nuts on either of them) Then I had to drive across town and get my jack. and roll the car across the driveway on the jack. I still haven't gotten it back together, but as soon as I do, I can move it where it's gonna sit for the winter and put a real cover on it. That's my funny story and more stupid shit that the p/o of my car must have done. I tried to get the engine and tranny today, and he said he didn't have a hoist, so I guess he planned on me picking it up w/ my bare hands. Maybe next week.
