I'm baaack! Old member returning.
« on: April 01, 2020, 07:56:48 PM »
Back from a long hiatus, I have rejoined the flock and I'm ready to rock! I was rohnk on the old forum and didn't participate a lot, but pretty steadily.
As life does, I was hit with reality and medical issues. Having almost died from illness, fallen into deep depression and been diagnosed with MCTD, I'm finally getting myself pulled back together.
I still have my white 82 SX/4 which has been collecting dust in the garage for the past six years going untouched. Now that I feel better, I'm getting the itch to finally finish this car and see it on the road once again.
I'm glad to be back in the nest and look forward to sharing my story and hearing some of yours.

Thank you , thank you.
My intention is to post a pic or two everyday of my progress or at least what I was working on that day. Video would be awesome to do but I have no idea how to mess with that stuff. I did post videos years ago but those are since long gone.

Glad to be around again. I see lots of activity on the Facebook page which is good. I can see we need to get the activity going up on the forum again.

Welcome back!!  Glad you survived; and hope you're surviving this latest round of nonsense.

I'm spending the lockdown getting caught up on repairs to my trusty (but not rusty) Eagle waggie.
