<VV> Newbie Non Driver

[Macdonald David]

Hi, I'm David Macdonald and I'm an Ex Newbie Non
Driver.

-Got my '65 Corsa on Aug 4, 1986.
-Towed it from Kingston, Ontario to Toronto, Ontario.
-Engine was torn down in 1974 by PO 
-Kept it stashed in various garages for years.
-Had it shipped to Massachusetts when I moved here in
'98
-Decided in earnest to get it running in early '04. 
-Goal was to drive it by my 46th birthday on Sept 10
and make it to the Clark's show. 
-Joined this list, joined Corsa, got tons of free
advice. Awesome!!
-Had a machine shop do the heads and press the rod
pins.
-Did everything else myself.
-Drove it (the first Corvair I have ever driven) for
the first time Sept 22nd, 2004. (Missed my goal by 12
days)

-I was a Newbie Non Driver for 18 years.
