Re: ? /6 cam

[Menko Johnson <menkoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well this car is a funny story.  It came to me from a co-worker who
has had it in her garage for 20 years.  The 20 years before that it
belonged to her dead aunt, who also garaged and babied it.  Its got
34k original miles on it, and is in excellent shape (except it seems
for every leather/rubber seal on the thing is going!).  I got her to
sell it to me for about $1200 and I've since located a 225 with 14k
miles on it that I am going to use as my "mild" build engine.  This is
the first time I've ever really messed with cars other than repairing
them, so I'm very excited.  While the /6 parts are more expensive than
the V8, harder to find, etc etc I just didn't want to get in so deep
that I needed to replace everything to put in a larger engine.  So I'm
sticking with the stock /6, and then putting a few fun upgrades in it.

My other problem is a serious lack of space.  We have a 1 car garage
that is reserved for our brand new Passat, so I have the Lancer stored
at a friend's house 20 mins away.  While I can work in his garage, I
dont have the space for storing a lot of spare parts.  But I'm
learning a ton, and with the help of people here and slantsix.org I'm
getting what I need.  If you want to see pictures of what I've got,
you can see them at http://tinyurl.com/69dls

Thanks again guys!  Also anyone in Central Ohio that can clue me in to
parts and yards I'd appreciate hearing from you!
