[Es2] ready to get in on the action

Ben, do you know where he got that radiator support bracket. I have the same intake manifold and have been trying to figure out how to make a bracket like that.

Adam, I may know of a 1990 AAN converted CQ that would be available. Not for less than about $18k US though. Very nice car. Here's a link to his AW picture poster...

Thanks everyone, I'll send some emails and make some calls starting 
today. All things considered I would prefer to convert my coupe, if for 
no other reason than it is easier for me to explain why the existing car 
looks and sounds a little different to the wife than having to deal with 
the reasons for buying and selling another car (she just doesn't 
understand). 

Of course if your car was exactly what I was looking for ......... Do 
you have basic details, photos?

My car is always for sale, that is for the right price at least ;)

I misread the original email. I agree with Dave, waiting for a converted 
car 
for sale may be dutile. There aren't that many to start with, and those 
are 
mostly in the hands of enthusiasts, so prying them from their fingers 
won't 
be easy. I know mine won't be for sale any time soon. 

It's a big project but a relatively fun one. If you aren't equipped to 
do it 
yourself, find a shop you can work with to co-opt the job and do the 
parts 
you can. Or if you're so inclined farm the whole thing out(I gave you a 
contact yesterday) and sit back and let someone else do it. 

Good luck, and hopefully we can say welcome ot the club real soon.
