Ferrari Mailing List: Ferraris and rain - restoration pictures

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Thanks Ed.  This was all started 5-6 years ago.  I
guess I could date the pictures and find out.  ...or I
could look at my title transfer from when I bought it
back from Ric.

Tiny history; 

I bought #28133 with Phil Tegtmeier's help, in January
1997 and drove it home from the Carlisle, PA area - in
the snow!  I had joined the List in the fall of '96
and had 'meet' Ric, Steve, Peter henrys, etc., all of
whom coached me along.  I can't remember how I found
Phil but it certainly wasn't online!  Phill, can you
remember?  

Bought matt Boyd's Mondial QV a year later, again with
Phil (and Matt) helping, then sold the GTB to Ric
Rainbolt about 6 months later.  Ric used it as a daily
driver for a couple of years then sold it back to me. 
Ric had maintained the car and restored it
mechanically, as is typical of Ric.  As part of the
re-purchase agreement with Ric, we had the exterior of
the car restored, leaving the interior work for me to
complete.  

Here is a directory to all of Ric's pictures (and many
of mine), taken along the way:
http://www.aubard.us/Ferrari/ .  Just surf your way
around in those directories for a look at the process.
 Please don't expect a published web page but rather,
just find an off-site storage of our many pictures.  

Regards,

rick
