Fresh Eyes

So… bear with me. We are all anxious to get to Babycar.

First I had to build a firewood stand. My neighbors’ kids’ play structure was obliterated in one of the first storms of the season (walnut tree fell on it) and he gladly let me pick from the remains to make this. And then, we lift haul and stack…

At that point the stuff cluttering up the inside of the shed (see earlier post) needs to be dealt with, and to do that, the shed side roof needs repairs so I can move yard equipment out there. I’m in the middle of that repair at the moment.

Obviously, I need a place to house Babycar. This is our shed. And with the 2 rows of firewood for the wood stove inside our house and judge-all-you-want interior.

My first job is to sort this out.

My buddy Kevin and I went on a road trip to Wilmington NC to retrieve Babycar, brought her home and rolled her off the trailer.

Stats: Babycar is a 1978 Fiat 124 Spider. More detailed stats will come later, but here are the basics:

• 1.8 liter stock DOHC
• Stock 2 bbl Weber carb
• 5 speed manual
• Roll bar installed in CA at the time of delivery to the US
