The Tug Boat Lives!

Finally got my Wago running again. Put in a low mileage (3000) rebuilt z6 and promptly (1 week) burned it down due to a pissing radiator hose and a malfunctioning Temp gage. Had a local machine shop rebuild my original a6 at a cost of about $1100 and 6 weeks of misery driving my boys hatch, but it's back on the road and I am loving it. Even during the break-in period the car is getting 30MPG with the short RT4WD gears and runs as good as my CRX did with it's a6. Got the 16" spoke wheels (Apexi?) and lowered it with extended top hats all around. Got a better drivers side fender and rolled the front lips so they don't rub on the tires any more. The little Tug Boat is ready to pull my CRX to the track, now I just need to get the CRX finished!

    I am ashamed to say that I can't get any pictures to load onto the website. Made an avatar and took some after pictures, but have no during pictures due to the chaos which ensued during my 3 mechanic juggling match to get it running again. Is there some secret to loading pictures? I am trying to load jpegs, but the process stalls before any picture appears.By the way, the wheels are Riax, not Apexi, but they do have an "X" in the name!
