C43
First 72-ish hours...

Well, I am in love. What a pleasure to drive. It fits like a glove (even better when I find the leak in air lines), hauls the mail (even better once I get that rough idle in gear sorted)...like a breath of fresh air (once I find and fix the leak...or clear the drains in the sunroof. Figured out (via searching for a while) why the cruise does not work...at least I think I have a handle on it. AND there is a clunk from the front end, likely ball joints, but will need to get it back in the air to suss out.

I do have a questions though...

Firstly, please feel free to comment on anything mentioned above.
Second, What wiper works on this car...I tried EVERY wiper from all the parts guys today and nothing worked...the curved bit where the blade clips in was not deep enough or something and the blades would not lock in place.
Third...actually I spaced out the third thing.

So far I REALLY like the car...once I get the details sussed out I am sure I will LOVE it.

PS...I need a tool kit, anyone got one for sale?
