hmmmmm. I guess you learned your lesson then. If you don't mind, how much did this SDL cost you? I wish I could find cars like that which I could fix, etc. that weren't rust buckets. How's the rest of the car? It's kind of funny because you only would have saved $200 by driving it, next time ship a smoker

Happy Thanksgiving
David

Yep, hindsight is 20:20. But, I wanted an independent opinion from an indy and I needed to see a customer along the way, so, I rolled the dice and lost. Oh, well.

The vehicle is in good shape overall. The previous thread by Hal details all the issues that it has. The interior is excellent. There is no rust. The exterior has clearcoat peel and the dark blue is a bit tired. The transmission shifts flawlessly. It has no power, whatsoever, due to the fact that the boost line from the manifold gets completely filled with oil. Hopefully, the ALDA is not filled up as well.

The cost was $2K.
