It's here! Dad (Ken) drove down to pick the Birkin up from Dick Brink and the folks at Texas Motor Works. It actually fit in the back of the van! After making some space in my garage, we set up some Harbor Freight saw horses in which to rest the car. With the help of an engine hoist and my lovely wife, we had the bare-bones car in position.
Much to our (my) surprise, many of the components were already in place. On the front end, the steering rack and sway bar were in place. The entire car was plumbed with hard brake and fuel lines and the pedal box was installed. The dash and wiring were in place, save for the instruments and the fuel tank and cargo tray were installed. This ought to be easy, right :).We have most of the components on-hand, including the 2.0 Ford Duratec engine and a rear differential from a Subaru WRX, so here's to a smooth assembly.
