Default I'm driven again with the most unique mod there is

I am driven again, pictures prove it. Last weekend was a huge weekend for me.
I never thought I would drive my car again.
But with the help of Greg (pushin9) Charlie (Chaz) Andy (Scrapdog) and Shane (lemonjuice) I am back at it.
I have had the car for 9 years and 11 months, so this was a special day.

How? Lots of work and sweat. It is an air system which helps me operate the clutch with my hands. For those asking why? I am paralyzed so my feet can not be used.

Not to smart with posting photos but I will try.

First Me
I am one happy Driver.


Greg did all the hand controls. He spent probably 16 hours in my car.


Andy and Shane on Saturday worked on electrical and my sound system.


Charlie and Andy worked on the electrical and the sound system. Charlie took over on the air supply and did a great job.


This is the pump and the air tank and all the stuff! It came from a great guy Mike Bullis out of his Vette and into the S2000


Greg and the final product.


Greg's masterpiece at my feet

This is the slow button for the clutch to move in and out. Plus a couple spares for future NOS jk

New Shift knob with the fast button for the clutch.

The first ride was scary but came off without a stall. Its going to take some getting use to but I will have a smile on my face doing it.

I will be at events with it, soon. Can't make Lake Geneva though.

Sooo see ya all

Very nice Keith. I'm so glad you guys could finish it and take it for a ride. You look like a 16 year old kid that just got his license in the first pic. Too bad you couldn't make it to lake geneva.

Way cool Keith, it's been a long road.

And more props than I have to give to all those who helped you.

Congrats!

Absolutely fantastic news, Keith. Looking at that list of helpers, you definitely had some of the absolute best individuals from the UMW. Again, I can't wait to see you driving out to the meets again.
