15 years of not being started I got it going with a battery and a can of fuel
I got the sound on a phone video so will try put it on Youtube
I spied it and was smitten
It is a COMPLETE car not too much work to do to get it running although brakes are shot no bad rust either
At last a couple of pictures without me in it

You need a new "pipe" the right sort of hat and you could do a "Maigret"

you've quite obviously jumped too far into something; let me help you out of it as a gesture of friendship! you really need to let go of this harmful obsession, and i'm more than willing to take this latest project off your hands!
that never works.....
Sir, step away from the automobile slowly and hand over the keys....
that doesn't seem to work either.... |
