Its been some time since I last reported on progress from Barb. We have been working through a myriad of issues that needed to be addressed during the latest updates. Needless to say even with all the issues that needed to be addressed prior to the installation of Control Freak Suspensions I am very happy with the results. (The issues were with the brakes not with the suspension kit). By adding this it effectively eliminated the Trunnion suspension and updates it to a full IFS. Thanks to Control Freak Suspensions for their assistance where and when needed. They were completely professional and very supportive.

Update: Progress on Tia 12/31/2015
Whew where does the time go, a new year and a new set of things to do. We have been working on more improvements and upgrades in order to make Tia a bit safer for the road. This particular mod fought us most of the way, although it is something that we should have expected in addition to the time needed in order to accomplish the task at hand.

Just wanted to share a quick update with you regarding Tia.
Christmas?? Look whats up?
Another year has come and gone and I am still nowhere close to where I should be as far as my scheduled projects. My hope was to complete one a year for the next few years so I would be able to enjoy the cars during my retirement. However, each still sit in a pile of parts that just keeps amassing for future use. My hope is that we can get back on track this coming year without some of the distractions from this past year creeping in to derail that train.

We have been working fervently to get Barb back in shape so that we may start to enjoy the cooler weather and driving the convertible during the cooler months. We have made a lot of progress so far.
