For $120, Gump has far less rust, and much more power with all the power leeches missing. On Thursday, May 25, 2006, at 03:41 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: its rusty Sunil Hari wrote: holy crap I think i really want this car. On 5/25/06, Donald Snook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This car is

Smashing away at the interior of the PnP 126, I am sure it is closer to 20 hours to do it right. Must involve removal of the windshield, a plasma cutter for the firewall and employment of dwarves to get into the really small nooks and crannies where the screws are hiding. On Thursday, May

Rust like that and the carpeting in the trunk tells me that there is daylight just waiting to be seen. I am betting the paint is the only thing keeping the tissue paper thin steel from disintegrating. On Thursday, May 25, 2006, at 05:05 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: holy crap I think i really want t

I did it to Gump. It was a bear, and not to be done twice on purpose. It took most of the day, nowhere near 12 hours though. I might have prepped the area prior to getting it near the shop, and once done, gone back home to install all the stuff I had removed for safe keeping. On Friday, May
