Hello Ina: No? i will not be at Celina this year, Still trying to get all
the bugs out of my amphi!!!
I still need interior yet and some small stuff. But i do love driving it
around , It turns alot of heads
I been looking for a good spot to put it the water, but the docks around
here are real short so
we can,t tie it off to look for leaks. My amphi is blue, i did all the work
myself so it,s not a
100 point car? but it looks good compared to what it was when i got it. No
floors, half the doors
gone, hit in the drivers side, and it looked like someone hit the entire car
with a hammer.
so to me it looks great.
Talk to you later
Paul
