Greetings from Paul's son-in-law

[PaulDexler]

Hello all
My name is Ross. Paul is my father-in-law. Recently I signed on with this forum as DadsSVX. I haven't been able to post or reply since I signed up almost a week ago. I emailed Admin but I've had no luck. Paul signed on with his own account so I could post. Paul is okay, but he's still in a nursing home. He's been on a bit of a rough road the last 18 months or so. He's hoping to come home but that will depend on his recovery of course.
In any case, Paul won't be able to drive again, and he's got his SVX in storage. I'm considering taking it on since I too love the design. In fact we both became very fond of the SVX at the same time, when he took one on for a magazine article. I found it to be an amazing car to drive at the time. But back to the present: Paul's car has two very badly blown head gaskets, a noisy front diff, bad center bearing, and the brakes are shot. I found all this out the hard way shortly before we got it stored! The options are to get rid of it, or go to the trouble of getting it running. With all I've read on this forum, with all the creative talent that I've seen in the forum members, I'm seriously tempted to get it going, but I need to source a good running engine, and along the way, a possible 6MT conversion and also get all the other ills fixed of course. I'm in the auto industry myself, so that will help with expenses.
And could Admin please fix whatever's wrong with my own account? I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if there's a lengthy wait time to allow posts & replies or what have you. Much appreciated!
