Hi all, just wanted to check in. Been very absent as I try to prepare myself (and a POS car) for this years BABE rally. No VW this year, my co driver appreciated the reliability and ease of repair but he was rather insistent upon something that could break 70.
Been busting my azz to get this one together since it was a complete crapheap for $250 but it took its parade lap around the block (so far none of my BABE cars have ever gone more than one sucessful trip around the block prior to departure...gotta have some sense of adventure) today.
With our win last year we were assigned number 01, so of course we had to go with the General Lee theme. If you cant read it in the picture the hood does not say General Lee, it says Traveller. So that is the bonus question of the day...who can tell me why we named it that?
Still some loose ends to tie up but we depart for NYC on Wednesday, should be a great adventure as always. Looking forward to getting back so I can get the buggy out and get it ready for some summer fun.
Oh, and since there have been discussions about it before..its not in the spirit of the event to give a car a proper paint job but we needed it to be orange (used to be red) so she was painted with a foam roller and rustoleum. I didnt take my time or anything but I can see how if you did and if you wetsanded between coats you could get a decent job out of it. Still not gonna hang up my spray guns but I guess for a cheap quick option its passable.
