Frozen cars

My SVX powered Vanagon in the snow, patiently waiting for me to get back in town to detail it and put it up for sale. (Photo from my wife)

Is there a build thread on that thing?

Nope. I went all undercover maverick on this project. There are several SVX powered Vanagons out there, so I didn't clear a lot of new ground on the swap. I focused more on execution than originality for this project.

Sorry, I missed this thread and just posted a picture of one of my Miatae in a different post, but I'll repost the picture here.

In reply to Nashco: Was going to ask about price and then a quick Google convinced me not to bother-I can't afford it. :(

Fix that ASAP with a post build thread with pics and details or we will start a ban petition!

Finally got a picture while I was out putting chains on my work truck. They seem to think I should drive down off the mountain to work tomorrow in their 2wd truck. Lucky me.

At the hotel down the street from my office today.

You could always send the Targa back up north. Did you save your receipt?

In reply to Woody:

Sounds like you need to do some googles as well (should be worth muuuch more than I paid for the Targa). (Plus-the Westy would replace the egg, I'm not giving up the Targa :D )

The layer of snow on the hood is about even with the roof line. We still have another 3-5 inches on the way too.

One of those lumps is a Fiat.

Find yourself a roof rake ASAP and clear the lower four feet of those eaves. You're about to have an ice dam problem.

The Targa is actually worth muuuch more than you paid for the Targa...

I need to go outside and get a new picture. We got another six inches of new snow last night after I took that picture. The Miata is now nearly completely covered.

These are a few years old, but I they fit the theme.

Just to update mine, with the new snow from last night.

This gives some better perspective, with my van in the picture.

I use the photobucket app for the iPhone. Upload pictures from your phone to the photobucket account, and then copy the "direct link." Click on GRM's photo icon above the reply box, and paste in your photo's link. Doesn't take but a few seconds from upload to posting.

dumb phone … but I've found another way …. after all these yrs

If you just copy the HTML link in Photobucket (third one down), you can just post the photo right into the body of the thread and skip the GRM photo button.

I haven't been getting very far with Photobucket lately … and flickr (direct link from iPhoto isn't getting the job done either

but, like I said above, I've found a work around ( I think) … we'll see

and this is the "added weight" so I have traction on both ends …

my driveway … couldn't wait for solar clearing lol
