Yea yea,  it's snow in the back and i wish i would be elsewhere but hey, got
to work  to pay that beast if i want to travel with it. Now you should here
that  engine scream :-) Finally, i love that color, but it show every  little
mistake (close to black) wile sanding it before in the final stage,  we had
to wet sand the van (2 days) and polish this one in 2 step, it's now  near
perfect. I'm an happy  camper.

ps.: A Ben who would really need a break but as no money left :-) and  has
tons of work to do... ironic! as i thought i would finish this van in  time
for a spring beak... bah, a Mexico trip is not that far  :-(

Benny  Boy, so looks like you put the 1.9 engine back in there ?  Was holding
my  breath wondering if it was gonna be the Subie or the 1.9 !  Sure looks
good.  Your gonna make us all jealous on the Mex trip !
BTW, Rita & I leave with the CARAT for Santa Cruz on Sunday  morning, wanna
come along ?

Cheers,
