The pilot is a go. We squeaked past our funding goal last week.

Still not sure which vehicle we'll start with. I'm more than a bit apprehensive about buying a car with 225K, no matter how clean it appears to be. I need to see some maintenance records before proceeding. It might be amusing for folks if stuff blew up (if there was a big budget to waste), but we're starting out on a shoestring ...

There's a good chance we'll start with donor cars and the most basic maintenance/mods (synthetic fluids, LRR tires, possibly alloy wheels & lowering springs, definitely an OBDII device and scavenged tire spats).
