Rust Repair, 280ZX in Colombia

[westpak]

Let's see if I got that: You graduated for Colegio Anglo-Columbiano (in Bogota) and your a cousin of Enrique Penalosa? And you met other Columbians at the Z Convention in Daytona last year? I don't use my Spanish much anymore so it's not as easy as it once was.

very good except Colombia with an o not u

Well, that was a lapse in my spelling skills rather than my language skills.

Where are the pic's of the Celica.? Sold my 72 Mustang to buy a new 76 Celica Fastback. After 2 years traded it for my 72Z and have been a Z person ever since. The Celica Fastback was fun but underpowered. Haven't seen one in 20 years. I wonder how many are still around?

My wingnut grandmother had a 71 or 72 Celica...when I turned 16 (in 1987) she offered it up for me as the manual steering was getting a bit much for her. As she was a pain-in-the-butt wingnut, my father decided that the 71 Pinto station wagon with the dented engine block (dropped the head when replacing after a gasket change) would suffice.

Hence the ignominious beginning of my career as a driver in a crap brown 1971 Pinto wagon (so cool in high school)...

Any wonder I'm now collecting Z's like I've lost my mind...simple over-compensation...
