Let me begin with this. I lost my father suddenly in 2010. this is a car he purchased out of Georgia, I believe in the early 2000s late 1990s. He bought and sold lot of toys throughout his life. This is 1 he would not part with. I was quite surprised to see this still sitting in the corner have his warehouse and the GSX gone amongst others. I pulled it back from the Lake Martin area of Alabama to Central Florida. The car was pretty much stripped down inside and primered all on the outside and covered in years of dust. In about 4 years I have where it is reasonably decent(not perfect). My sentimental restoration
Thanks for looking,Joe

Nice tribute to your Dad. Looks good!
 
Thats an awesome tribute to your Dad. Im sure he is looking down with a big smile on his face.
 
Sorry for the loss of your Dad. I'm sure he is looking down with a big smile knowing how you are taking care of his TR.

My Dad is currently undergoing his 4th round of chemo, but things are not looking too good. I now have his prior GN and am bringing it back to life, hopefully in time for him to drive it again.

Here's to Dads.
