    There was a recent post on car revival - search Ed Mayo, he contributed a zillion good ideas.

    Ha! A happy ending. I wouldn't rush to tear it apart. Drive it for a while and find out what's good and bad, and whether you really like the car. Just my opinion. Learn where the rust lurks, because there's rust, as sure as the sun shines.

    Wow, I was afraid the OP got screwed. It almost happened to me when I bought my car. 69S-S/R has gained any respect from me for his post.

    Well done mate! Where was the car advertized to where 7-8 people were lined up outside his house??! I can't imagine the kind of awkwardness and tension outside that house with a line of buyers all fighting for the car!

    Glad to see the owner kept his word about giving you the first opportunity, nice to see in this day and age.
    Could have turned into a driveway auction, nice score!
    Looking forward to the additional pictures.
