Well, i just got sy#2283 up here from Tuscon, AZ. and now the fun begins.
For some backround, #2283 was owned by my grandfather and then my uncle after he passed away a couple of years ago. It hasn't run in 4 years because my grandfather became i'll and rats got into wiring
There was a nest under the hood when i opened it up, no rats though :squint: I would have loved to have gotten a little bit of pay back :squint: Especially since they made part of it from cactus needles, some of which are still in my fingers :rant:
It's been sitting in basiclly a 3 sided carport since then. There is a bit of work ahead of me to get her back up to speed, but there's only 24743 miles on her and i'm the thrid owner. interior is in good shape, seats are like new, dash just needs to be cleaned of the glue from the velcro stickers from cover.
The paint and cladding are oxidation city. Hopefully i can bring them back to at least acceptible condition. But new paint will definately be on the list if i can ever afford the type of paint job these vehical's deserve.
There is also a little damage to passenger side fender cladding at wheel well. Hopefully it can be repaired, may need some help with this one, as well as the other problems. I have a feeling i'll be here quite often
i have some pics but no clue as to how to post them. i guess i cant add attachments yet, being a nOOb and all :rotf: understandable i guess.
anyway, i'll post pics as soon as i'm allowed to
