I did. No trace of any around here.I figure I will just hook up the wires to a new set of replacement bulbs. I need them faster than I can get a good set.

Talked to Zoheb today and have a plan to have it towed here so I can fix it at my leisure until it is ready to be smogged. Yes, you heard me correctly, smogged. Apparently I didn't make it clear that the car needed to be smogged for the title to be moved to me. On this car at least, since we don't want to deal with the hassle of returning the title to him if it's not ready for smog within the month it is purchased.

So it will be here sometime this week. I still need the headlight part of the headlights. I found the corner peices nearby, and should have them soon.

Other than all of this I think we should be pretty good. The car will be here Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Just have to iron out the details and she'll be home. We're doing a half/half deal, so I'm paying 750 for the car, then 750 for the title once all is said and done.

Still kinda cautious about that, but since he is a very close friend of a very close friend I'm hoping that will keep us away from any complications.

We'll see though...

With a little spit and polish it could be a great looking car.

Will be at Arin's on Monday. Shhhh, he doesn't know yet...


Since I don't think AAA will tow it that far for free, we're gonna make "pit stops"

lol, have fun with that pete. I have to let you know in advance though, you're not allowed to come over whilst dropping off the car. it will be purely a "drop the car in the parking lot and go" sort of thing, since the rents are out of town, im not allowed out, no ones allowed in, and my 30 year old cousin is around to make sure i obey the rules lol.

in any case, cant wait to see you having a decent car to work on

If you're ever going to be towing one of these... just rent a full flatbed. the hassle to get the driveshaft out on a normal street with only a single jack is far too difficult to be worth the ten bucks you save using a tow dolly.

Other than that...

SHE'S HOME!

I was even starting to doubt it was gonna happen...

Or do it MY way and let the nose roll, and lock up the steering wheel.
