Re: [BaadAssGremlins] The Mix's Mrs's New Car



Well, it's not perfect but repairable. The drivers door striker has been repaired 'your way' but I guess that's ok for my wife. No rust in the wheelwells or the doors, no hloes in the floor (but I haven't gotten' my fat a$$ under it yet) exhaust has a leak just in front of the muffler (not at the manifold) and the tranny has a small drip. Going to need the door glass outer 'fuzzies' because these are totaly gone and if not fixed right away these 'nice' doors won't last long around here.

Gary, nice to see you found an honest person to deal with. How is the
body rust wise? It looks real clean from the pic's.

Doc, I just noticed yesterday the sticker on the windshield that says Fort Sill, so I can assume it belonged to a military person. Looks like all rubber under the hood has been changed and the rubber lines in the brake system will be replaced BEFORE I let her drive it. I will clean and repack all bearings and I've already recvd a trans filter kit from my non-Auotzone (you know what I mean) parts store with a new pan gasket in it (as this was one thing the previous owner informed me about). I had him make a list of everything he knew was 'wrong' since he couldn't (wouldn't) furnish me with any past repair/maintanence receipts. He was very honest with me and even 'showed off' his '73 Black/orange stripe    V-8 Gremlin X he's been working on for the past couple of years. I invited him to check 'US' out here @ BAG.    Gary

Congrats on finding and buying the new car. Did the seller say why it
was such a low mileage car? Everybody seems to love them low mileage
original little old lady cars so to speak. The problem usually is
everything made of rubber is shot. The grease in wheel bearings is hard
and the crankcase is full of sludge rubber brake lines are rotted and
cracked. I am sure you will give it more than a casual check over Gary.
You wouldn't want to turn the wife off after just showing some interest
after 20 years by the car breaking down. I always had problems with
little old lady cars. My son has also. Now my story ;-) I gave my
fathers last new car to my son 2 years ago. He bought it in sept 84 and
died in feb 86. He put 7,000 miles on it. From 86 till 2003 my mother
put 3,000 miles on it. I made sure it was serviced every 6 months. When
I gave it to my son and he started using it regularly instead of his
Javelin. You name it and he had a problem with it. Before you know it he
had almost 1,500$ in repairs and that included replacing the original
tires. Them low mileage original cars are not all they are cracked up to
be sometimes. It takes some real work to make them dependable drivers.
Is that car yellow Gary? E9 paint code?
