Oops I bought a car

I paid a good price. Don't want a car I have to monkey with too much.

Red interior looks intact. Underneath is clean, with jack, spare and wheel cover!

Here it is. I don't think it's Hugh's car after all. Some things are a little gruff. I'm happy, but the car is not perfect.

Congrats. Looks good. What are the goals? Full resto? Cars and coffee regular? Flip for a profit?

Thanks. Resto-Mod all the way. I just want one for the sake of having it, and acar to poke around in locally. My errand runs are short hops, so I want a driver.

Thinking about air shocks for the rear. I'm ordering the 16" wheels and 205/55-16 set-up now. I hope it doesn't rub.

Also, I feel like I have a miss, and get a intake pop under load. I hope it sorts itself out.

I never really had a project car, just a single personal car.

How about bagged, shaved, tucked, tints, black wheels and de-chromed? Can’t see your location on the mobile version of this site. It would fit with the SoCal crowd.

wtf is this? I came back to this thread to see if audi junkie was exposed as a troll or not, see the response, and another troll throws this in the mix.

Can we get an adults only section here? Years ago, mb forums was adults only in the vintage/classics subs.

The tab on the front side of the airbox seems like it's snapped off, so the box had been running open to the air. I suppose it had been oscillating back and forth, and putting the flow sensor into a futz. That caused my stumble and miss.

I was pretty far from home, and it was getting worse so I popped the hood at a gas station. Lacking any tools, I hammered the tab slightly tighter....and that pretty much cured it.

Of course a friendy Central PA Redneck stopped to offer help, and said he had tools if I needed them. Understandably, I looked silly hammering the engine bay with a tire iron, but it worked.

Lesson learned; don't leave home on a 200mi drive w/o tools. Also, this car gets more attention than a side-piped Huracan.

What is the age limit to be an adult?

Nice fleet. Good to have fresh rubber.
