Hi John,

>> I purchased it in May 2019 from a gentleman in Chicaogo, IL I had it shipped in an enclosed van (Montway). After I had driven the van a few miles, I realized that brake lines were leaking so I had AAA take it to European Auto Clinic here in Macon. All brake lines and components had to be replaced, including master cylinder. I then had to have the power steering rack replaced as well as the clutch slave cylinder. Van then went to Troopers Collision here in Macon. They installed the GoWesty bumpers and repaired the rear lock on the sliding door. The top screw that holds the latch to the door frame had been stripped out of the threaded hole in the door. The latch was swiveling on the bottom screw until repaired.

Yesterday, I had four new 205 R 14 tires installed and oil and filter changed at one of the Raffield tire stores here in Macon. My Son provided a new battery. I also had him out last night giving him a lesson on how to drive stick-shift. I am driving back to Deland, FL, home tomorrow.
