Well guys, for a while it didnt seem to turn out entirely as per our expectations towards the end, with the scrapguy insisting we pay him a little more, claiming tat some other 'party' had seen the car just after we left on the 1st day & offered him that price....& we (or rather Suren!) did eventually agree & have the deal settled.....but we had a host of other challenges waiting for us yesterday when we (with Suren & kkr2k2) went over to get the car started, ready with battery & petrol....it turned out the guy lost the car keys, claiming that the other 'party' who wanted to buy her took off with the keys & he couldnt trace them....how irresponsible could you get!
Did manage to get the car open.....then had some trouble with its points & distributor, refusing to start even way until twilight.....which ended up with the guy arranging for a jeep to have her towed to the nearest garage where I'm getting my select done up, just to get her away from that slaughter-yard. Anyways, all's well that ends well!
My mech. is gonna start working on her from today onwards...hope we could get her ready in time for the rally on 15th aug....
I managed to fit the side trim on the left front wing back on....so looks complete on one side atleast!
Tried uploading more pics. but imageshack is acting up again & I'm in a hurry to go out now.....so later!
