He was trying to sell it on eBay but the highest bid he got was my
opening bid at $1500 (reserve not met of course).

Battery? Under the passenger seat!

Reservoir? Under the speedo cowl!

I only know this though because he told me when I bought it :-)

Still can't find the engine though...

I know the steering wheel is not original. Actually it's too small a
diameter which blocks both the speedo and tach. I don't like that so
I'm planning to replace it. Besides, I want the bigger wheel, makes me
feel like I'm really driving a bus!
