This must be a disease, right?:p
I've been bitten (or smitten
) again! Oilslick gets the credit (or blame:p ) for introducing me to this beauty! The car was discussed previously
here.
We don't have the car yet, but have committed (or SHOULD BE committed :p ) to do so. I love this colour (are we going to be twins Gottawagon?), and 'rust-free' is just not something we will ever find here. And the engine hubby's rebuilding needs a home.:p So, I HOPE this was a good decision, and not just feverish delerium as a result of the MB virus!
The current owner claims that it needs new rings (smokes badly/hard to start). Sounds another engine to rebuild! We'll soon be 'the' experts here. :p I wonder if there is something funky with the electrical, as he told me the AC blows fuses, and he told my husband that they converted to R134, and that it was killing the battery so they had to do some funky wiring. There is an on/off switch for the AC below the glove box....? Oh well, we'll figure it out.
Now we just have to get it here. I don't suppose anyone is coming west with an empty flatbed truck??:p Or at least, does anyone have a shipping company they would recommend. I have some quotes, but haven't decided yet.
The current owner calls her Buttercup. We may just keep it, it seems to suit.
Buttercup, buttercup, oooo I love my Buttercup.....
