First ride in #2325 after over 17 years off the road due to a longer than expected resto.  Still need to tweak a few things and upgrade a few parts, but 95+% done.   Are they ever done?....

Great job hanging in there all those long years! 

It took me from 1983 until 2015 to get my KR back on the road.  That first drive after the long slumber was the most memorable short blast around the block in my life.

Congrats! Thanks for stopping by! It was great to see the car on it's "maiden" voyage after all
these years.

Here's our cars almost two years ago. It's come along ways since then.
