Good Point ^ (cup half full for sure) and the buys at this shop say that the frame, interior and electrical all all above average and to get the car fixed up and back better than it's been in a long time (only assuming after seeing the top end apart) for a few thousand dollars is a "lucky break"...

Soooo.... It turns out the car isn't quite as presented after all. It's in getting work done now - couple of bent valves, busted harmonic balancer, I was right about the coolant smell right off of the trailer (the first mechanic told me I was imagining things) rebuilding the carb (leaking gas)...

Love it.

Thanks... and the car is put away for the next 2 weeks (but I put it away being assured that it was nothing serious - said my mechanic) - Can't wait for Spring!

Hi there, Just took delivery of an Eric Freeman Teak Wheel (but honestly, I wouldn't know the difference if someone told me it "wasn't" a Freeman wheel) and I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on whether or not it needs anything (linseed oil comes to mind?) or is the answer more along...

I guess I should properly continue my earlier story then... So the car was supposed to arrive the day before at dinner time (but the driver got held up at customs and couldn't finish the drive here in one shot due to his logging more hours than legal) and I had planned on jumping up from the...

I don't disagree in the least - now to find a shop nearby me...

The car pulls great and it sounds awesome - I just hope it's not too serious...

I called him and left a voicemail as soon as I noticed... got an email back saying "had no issues on this end" (of course)

So the car arrived at 7:30 this morning... the driver pulled the car out and put it in the driveway and we ran it a few minutes before he left and I did the walk around... Looked fine enough and then I went in the house to get the kids, come out and it's stalled. I pop the hood because I can...

And I've got an Eric Freeman Teak Wheel that's being delivered on Thursday as well... I'm finding it hard to concentrate on much of anything these days because of this car!

Cheers and Thanks... I'll post some photos when it arrives.
