Got 1 present..Just .....


Greeting all Nutters..

 

 

Merry Xmas to All.. Hope you had a good Xmas Eve..

Have a Merry Xmas day and may you not eat and drink To much..

 

 

Well I got my self a New to me Car..

- a very Zippy ford Fiesta TDi..

A great car to drive.. Same fuel type as I wish for my Bus..

 

I thought I had found my bus.. But No..

It was not to be..  External body Looked great.. - Just a heap of stone chip's on the Front panel.. Every easy to repair with a sand back and re-coat with paint..

The question was what the rest of the Bus Like.. I asked the import Broker to get it looked over and he just got back to me..

- Way to many Warning Light's up in the instrument Panel.. the motor sounded Good..

- The Rear under body was another shocker.. Way to much Under body rust.. Which is a good indicator that the Bus has spent some time in the snow affected area's. So the under body had a fair amount of Salt damage. A tone more than I would want.. and way to hard to treat..

 

So if you want to get an import.. Go thru a Broker to help you deal with these issue's..

 

so at this Time NO BUS yet.. But My Batteries are on Order..

Yes Brian I have decided to take the huge step of 240v all thru..
