Please go get some new Medication
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

I bought this a year ago for $200. According to the serial number, it is a 1920. Motor spins freely, the transmission looks good they the access cover and it has a Ruckstell.

They are out there, maybe far and few in between, I might have gotten very lucky. He was happy to be rid of it though.

Thanks to most all of you. I'm looking locally (the duty bringing a US car here is crazy!) so yeah. Actually, I suspected finding the car was a long shot, and yeah, I got hot under the collar about it, but apologies to the group. It's over.

And thanks, Karl... but yeah, shipping a car (or even a chassis) here is crazy silly expensive - The just upped the import duties last year... they, the government has to balance their budgets on someone's back, right?? :evil: (nope, it's not just there, it;s here, too!)

BTW - the "medication" comments? You guys are funny... at least upstairs. :roll: Speaking of meds... maybe you should lay off the blue pills, and those "muscle building shots", eh? :lol:

Back to the subject... 3 years ago there were cars for sale here, and pretty reasonable. Figured I could make it happen here. Easy peasy, right? Then it dried up. Maybe it's just bad timing, eventually it will come around. Not a big deal. God knows, I have enough other projects to take up my money, er, um, time...
