The car is now home.

The title came in and the transaction is complete. I drove the car home and it drove nice.
I really like this car alot.
It has good power, really pulls nice but there is a very small hesitation off the line for a split second when I tried a Jack-Rabbit start. Once I got home, I spent a few hours looking all over the car. I found some minor issues. (see pics)
Does anyone know of a good indi shop near Katy? I want someone to inspect it including the chain and guides....
1. The temperature sending unit two pin connector was not connected and has a jumper accross it. Is this done to kick the aux fan on sooner?


2. A thermostat housing bolt had some coolant around the head.


3. The hood braces. One is loose and one is missing. Need a new insulation pad. At least I have good access to push out some small dents.


4. I pulled the ashtray out to see if I could find an easy fix as to why the Becker radio does not power up. Found two loose wires. But still no radio action. I do like that the ashtray and lighters have never been used. They look perfect.


I ran a CarFax report and found this car has been driven less than 200 miles since 2006. No accidents.
