Hey, I'm moving to Willow Grove sometime in August. Just putting my toe in the water to see what's out there so far as service/support and whatnot for my moderately battered 88 Turbo.
I'm looking forward to finally having a garage where I can work on the car, as well as parts stores where I can actually buy stuff that I can use. I'm tired of Turkish bullshit, and ready for the change.
My poor car has recieved numerous scratches, etc because of horrid traffic conditions here. I should post some pictures of the garage I have to wedge this behemouth into. Sets my heart racing every time I've done it. Done some cosmetic damage, and more recently had to sacrifice my drivers side mirror to avoid being totaled out by a crazy ambulance. Car looks kinda funny now with a black d/s mirror, but it'll be repainted (original silver, or as close a match as I can get).
Having the engine re-done, new gaskets and studs as well as some valve-work starting monday. Labor is cheap here, just have the annoyance of a 2 week wait for parts I may need. Should only set me back about 400-600 bucks for the whole shebang. Painting is probably gonna cost me 1g, but I'm having it done right. Heat sealed, detailed and everything. Should be nice, insallah (I hope).
Let me know what's out there so far as support, groups and anything else I may not remember. I've been in Japan for 3 years, and Turkey the last 2, so I have to re-adjust to being an American, with all that comes with it.
Later.
Witty
