I've taken Alice to a few criuse ins and see that occasionally... I guess people think it looks 'cute'....
I've taken to leaving a note on Alice looking for local mechanics... can't find ANYONE here to help me move the doner and help me swap out the rear and front....
Got a few replies there... I even met a person who's 70 mav (looks like alice did at one time) is a manual tranny with the stick on the floor... Ironically, she wishes it was an auto....
We discussed doing a straight trade but I have a feeling that she won't come through... Pity, I even offered to pay for a majority of the labor if her dad wouldn't do it...
Too many people just TALK... even when there's all the parts and MONEY availble...
*SIGH*
My 302 is waiting for me in Olympia... (that's a cash flow thang) my free doner is 15 miles away waiting to find a tow and a place to stash it (my aprtment complex would tow it away in two days!)
AAAAAAUUUUUUUURRRRRGGGG!! I've looked into "parts for labor", cash for labor....EEEEEKKKKK!!!
The Maverick miracle fairy only granted half my wish!!!
OH, As a topper! I was stick in on on a bid for some hood scoops on e-bay... I let it go until I found that the guy retracted his bid! I tried to contact the seller saying I was willing to pay what would have been my winning price but he has not replied...
AND he had a way to do the conversion too!!
Okay, done bitching now.. gotta go and change Alice's thermostat and hope to GAWD that's why she keeps getting so hot...
