Update: December 11, 2019
Several car/build related developments lately.. my old Honda N600 build was top of mind this last month as it was selected to go to SEMA (November 2019)... the story of how that happened is on my build log here:
http://locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.p ... &start=630Almost a year ago, in early 2019, progress on my Berkeley builds (here:
http://locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=19397 ) came to a grinding halt when I got into a fender-bender with this Volvo 1800... at that point, the Volvo got all of the attention (repair/repaint/returned to daily service), and the Berkeleys haven't been touched since.. Also, in the interim, we moved and got new jobs, and life's been out of balance ever since..
Last month, this site (locostusa) had an issue with data loss... basically pictures from the last 2 years were lost for everyone here
.. this didn't much affect my stagnant old Honda build, but it's knocked a huge hole into this Volvo build, and it virtually wiped out all of the pics on my Berkeley build..
So moving forward.. I've caught the Honda build back up (the easiest one).. I'll next go after catching the Berkeley build back up by replacing old missing pics the best I can, and posting the current status on the car.. Finally, I'm dreading it, but I'll then go back and replace all of the missing Volvo pics.. this will take awhile..
In January 2020 (next month), I'm putting a huge focus on the Berkeley build.. I haven't really 'made' anything for almost a year (the Volvo's been all R&R), and for too long now my obsessive personality hasn't had a passion over which to obsess.. I have not been a pleasant person.. I know myself well enough to know that I NEED to go back into the garage and engage in a creative build..
So this Volvo continues to be the daily driver, and big ideas and plans are in queue for my tiniest of builds- the Berkeley.. life goes on
