Own a piece of GRM history

Saw this on my local Craigs. Impressive amount of miles!

Trunk pre-wired for sub-woofer.

Don't remember that part of the GRM story!

Damn, I have one just like that, with half the mileage.

I wanted that thing so hard back when they were doing the stories on it.

I didn't realize / remember that they had one as a project car. Mine's even the same color. I will have to see if I can dredge around under my bed for the back issues. Any idea of approximately when that was?

That thing's got a lot of miles on it!

I really miss Per He always had the most interesting projects.

You're right about that. I think that may be part of the reason the magazine is ever so slightly less interesting to me now. I used to read every page cover to cover at least twice but lately they are holding my attention just a little bit less. I liked Per's writing and his projects were always very interesting. I particularly remember vividly the engine rebuild articles on this particular project car. And the rally SAAB.

Of course it may just be that I have changed over the years as well. Not having a car to play with and even if I did no money to do anything with it for so long has really made me change the way I approach life.

Awesome, thanks.

Awww..you're making me blush.

DILYSIDave posted that on my FB page—I didn't know Jeff was selling it. It certainly treated him well!

Per! Don't be a stranger around here. GRM is still great, but your writing and projects are missed.

Heh, i always wanted that car, too.

Since Per is probably too classy (and perhaps too busy, between his still-crazy project car schedule and fast-growing brood of three gorgeous kids) to plug himself, let me do it for him. He writes for MotoIQ now and has a regular column. Here's the link: Garage Love

Maybe the worst part about the magazine's project cars is that the updates abruptly end instead of mentioning that they need to sell it and buy a different car.
