Memories of Murray

[corsachili]

Hey gang,

It's been a while since I've checked in being that I'm no longer part of the E9 clan. Last I heard my CSL was living happily in SoCal with a transplanted big HP engine and a few suspension upgrades. The M635CSI recently found a new home so we're down to only 1 BMW in the stable (my wife's incredibly fast 135i Sport).

Kurt and Glenn and I were at Club Autosport last weekend attending an Alfa Romeo Club function and it was a pleasant surprise to see Murray's car there. It surprised me actually, as we were just walking past a row of garages and suddenly there was BLUMAX. Lots of fond memories came to mind, and I remembered the last time I saw Murray, in San Diego a few years back.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Hey TJ
Good to hear from you again. Can you share any photos of your recent Alfa project ? Also, I hope you will keep the photo album of your past e9 restorations online. It serves as a great reference/inspiration for those of us less skilled. It doesn't look like I can get http://www.cowpokeracing.com open.

Hi David, there are some photos of my Alfas on my Flickr page, https://www.flickr.com/photos/corsachili

Unfortunately the 1900 project got suspended after a young woman rear ended the Giulia while my wife was driving it last summer. Getting that car fixed has been the focus over the past 6 months, and it's been a tough one.

I'm afraid the Cowpokeracing site is gone. I do have photos of the project if you ever need details on some specific area. Feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can help.

Regards,
TJ

Hi TJ,

I saved the pages of your resto of the CS into PDF and could email them to David if you are OK with that - the links to any photos don't work so thumbnails is all there is but text makes for interesting reading.

It was such an in-depth record of restoration it would be nice to archive it on this site like we used to do:

I dont need the info at the moment, but something is always ready to be repaired...

I have a server with good bandwidth so if I can get the pdf I can host it for everyone to download.

@decoupe - how big is it? I can give you access to upload it to me

Not very large - maybe 5mb in total.
