Mike-S Posted 6March, 2017 Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 car delivered. 6 Months for the build...jesus I thought they just threw them in.new 2.5lt option being offered...Well, look on the bright side. By the time it's built, tested, been driven by you round California, gone on a boat and been shipped round the world, made it through quarantine, sat at AH while they take a few more dollars off their best customer and then finally been registered, you may actually have a new garage in which to park it michel, turboT and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 10January, 2018 Report Share Posted 10January, 2018 Failed the quarantine wash and had to be redone? At your expense of course, that does give me the shits and lends even more credence to it being a dockside scam ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 11January, 2018 Report Share Posted 11January, 2018 Well, I picked up "Barny" this morning! It's as I expected... Green dials!! Somethings missing... Only the best quality body works... Which continues to the floor pans... what you may or may not be able to see is there is a new one at some point just siliconed underneath the old perforated one! Boy do they know how to repair a car! taunting me from the kitchen.... Anyway, enough with the thread jack, I just thought I'd keep PFA informed as to Tom's barn find #1 ... I don't know if I am going to start a build thread or not, because I have too many other life projects going on at the moment! But all in all, its pretty good canvas for what I wanna do with it.
