Paul -

Hope it's going well now. I got mine home Saturday...and it went OK except that

- the battery was DEAD DEAD and I had to roll-start it, not daring to turn the car off until I got home.

- there was a HORRENDOUS thumping right under the center of the car...it happened 3 times. Don't know if it was guibo or center bearing or what the hell is going on down there. Car is too low for me to look until I get it on stands. Other than that, it ran beautifully.

Today I cleaned it for about 5 hours. Even started waxing the incredibly oxidized paint and realized it wasn't all that bad. Rubbing compound tomorrow to see what happens :)

Also discovered I don't have seatbelts (!), and it looks like someone ran a bar across the back (and through the panels :( ) and installed a harness. Well, I suppose I'll have to get a bar and harness too :)

Well, I'll probably start ordering stuff from you in a few months, after I get some things taken care of.
