Finished welding around the floor panels, which needed to be done very urgently. Also finished chipping off the crusty segments of old dash pad...
I'll get a photo up this evening. I asked the guy if he's take $300 for it. He nibbled his lip and said, "let me think on a while. Call me back...
I'm not well versed in title procedure. Is it illegal to do a cash sale on a vehicle without a clear title in hand? I thought that there was some...
It's a cutie. Can't find a way to get a cell phone pic to the forum here, but it's in nice shape on the outside. I saw very minimal rust on the...
