    I see a white one about once a week. I think it lives down the road

    I'll tell your wife.
    Here's one we won't be seeing around much longer, because they're notorious for rusting out. I found this one on the internet and am going up to buy it. The lady wanted 750€ for it, in the ad. But, now says I can pick it up for only 550€, without me even having a chance to haggle on the price:
    I would have given her the full amount, anyway, since it looked good and has comparitively low miles. If she doesen't let me drive it home on Holland plates, things won't be easy. I'll see if I can win her trust, by treating her somewhat nicer than I treat Fannie :eek:
    I'll wait until I get my hands on it, before I boast to everyone that I'm now again a proud wagon owner. Here it is:

    :beaten::eggface:The only difference being that your daughter would have ordered it new that way. I'm glad to even get my hands on one of those, even if it would have been puke green. What I will do is to chuck the cheapo wheel covers and then paint the rims silver. I'm not sure about the luggage rack spoiler. But, the door handles will also go silver, the way I just tweaked my tricycle

    didn't see a lot of these in the states when they were new and now never Alfa Romeo Berlina. Picture - my car back in 74
    traded in my 70 GTO convertible for it because the goat was to expensive to gas up (gas was $.719) to this day my wife says I married her because she paid to have the engine rebuilt after I snapped the timing chain at 115mph.. took the car to euro specs, larger cylinders and racing cams went from 116hp/125 torque to 155/165 - with Ansa exhaust - car was totaled in 78 by a 72 Cougar convert. Still miss the smell of Castrol 5w50, and beating Porsche 911's with a car that looked like the box a Peugeot came in

    It's better to marry a woman in debt than the other way around. At least, that way, you've got something to hold her hostage with

    Well, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Honda referred to as a barn find

    I remember these from auto body class in high school (fall of 79 till spring of 81)

    Remove the rusted fender, braze new sheet metal to the inner fender to attach the new fender to. These were 3 and 4 year old cars, we did a lot of them.
