As I found it...September 2, 2013
The top was just sitting there, there wasn't anything to bolt the frame into. You could see the ground in a lot of places through the pan and there was some VERY cleverly hidden rust issues. It drove about 100 yards at a time, then died, starved from fuel and at 45mph it would shake your teeth out. The tire were 19 years old and EVERYTHING was adjusted wrong.
BUT.....it was all there!
Its getting there......should drive again by the end of the month
