Al Corporon (Al's V8Vair)

[Sportwagon400]

Hi great forum I am the new custodian of Als great little Crown Corvair [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] we made the deal about 1 year ago and I have enjoyed the car a lot. ( Thanks Al ) This year I am adding 4 wheel disc brakes and lowering the car to a more sane level ( sorry Al ) as i go I will add pictures but I am happy to be a part of Als fanily as he is a part of mine. The car gets a lot of use ( some very hard ) and i will make sure it continues to live on
