Well, My car was finally delivered today and showed up very much as expected. Its hard when you depend on someone else to do the PPI for you and dont actually see the car in person 'till it arrives on your doorstep.
Its very nice to know that there are still good honest people out there who represent things as they really are! THANKS STEVE! Now... In driving it around for the few minutes I have (its not registered yet) and then crawing all over the car, I noticed that the shocks/springs are really noisy and creaky. Is this just the fact that it hasn't been driven for a long while and the whole thing probably needs lubricated, or is this a sign that I need new shocks? I'll be doing several things to it over the next weekend or two so I'll post pictures... Any news on blogs being re-instated.. Seems like that would be the right place to do it. Thanks!! Doug |

Glad you finally got it! Hope it's as I described it and as reported by the PPI. I'm puzzled by the creakiness. Perhaps it's from being strapped to the carrier for a while. It didn't creak whenever I drove it. The shocks are from the late 90's (you should have the receipt), but probably don't even have 10k miles on them.

Yes, everything got here exactly as expected. She was dirty, but in great shape! The creaks have subsided and I don't hear them when I'm driving it. Mostly when I jacked it up to look underneath. So I'm not worried about it at all. While I've got your attention, Do you remember when you put the Carb on, did you change the cam to a "carb friendly" one, or is it the stock cam? Doug |
