Are you moving into a different platform or something?
What did you do to your E3 today?

I had two main issues:
1. I purchased inexpensive vehicles that were non-op. Both vehicles required significant work and I underestimated my free time - so it became obvious that it would be years before either vehicle was in running condition.
2. I was fortunate to be able to store and work on my cars at a friend's industrial warehouse (his vehicles are stored inside). My vehicles were covered and stored outside in a fenced yard (including razorwire at the top of the fence), but they drew attention.. thieves cut through the fence to see what was being stored. As a result of the burglary, my friend asked me to vacate the premises.
If I return to the E3 platform, I will purchase a fully operational car as the starting point for a new project. I'm not concerned about the interior.

I’m assuming that since the thieves left the E3s they recognized the job for what it would be!
Ive seen quite a few pretty decent to very nice ones go for sale recently. I'm sure you will find the perfect one for you.

That is a bitter sweet image! The time and money factor in a car hobby can be immense.
Enjoy the freedom!
I have just the ticket but you will need a bigger rig than this one ….that moved your cars !
And maybe move to 1000 miles north!

Refreshed the taillights today, NOS lenses I had and installed really nice gaskets from @TomHom. I ordered the wrong LED bulbs, (except the turn signals). They are super bright, at least twice as bright as stock incandescent bulbs. Can’t wait to install the rest. I left the front turn signals incandescent for now so I do have to change out the flasher.
