wow, all that time and only one reply
doesn't matter anymore. the car is sold (pending the buyer pays the last 1/3 by the end of the month). I didn't get to watch her drive away, but next time I go to where she was, she will be gone. *sigh*
I put $2250 on the f/s sign and he didn't dicker at all, so I sold it for that and didn't have to take my stereo out, even though I probably paid a t least a grand for everything over the years. I even fixed the short that was blowing my courtesy fuse a couple days before he took it.
I'll be out of the w game for a long time, but would like to come back some day after I'm settled w/ a mint TSTE if I don't wanna work on it or a ragged out 3.1 vert and restore it w/ TGP rebuild swap, maybe 6-speed or 282 manual, if i want a project.
