At the close of last year, The Whale was sold off to a brand-new LeMons team. While it was sad to see it leave the garage, it had been collecting dust since The Bus made its debut last spring. Still, The Whale was one of the first residents in our garage, and its spot is taken up now by the little 914 that has been midway through a carburetor-to-fuel-injection conversion since we lived in San Francisco. That project, like many other things we’d really like to do, simply has to wait a bit longer.
The good news, though, is that the giant list of items to address, culled from the initial inspection report when we were in escrow, is almost exhausted. We still have a few items to work on and we’ve added in a lot of new things, but we have made significant progress in the last twenty months and the place is starting to feel like it’s really ours.
Here’s a video of The Whale sailing out the driveway.
