First off, I gotta say I'm glad I own an 02 because it's a fantastic car; second, this forum and its members are equally fantastic and make the process just that much easier. I haven't needed to post a question as they seem to have all been answered, and I am hoping to contribute some invaluable tips at some point along the way.
I finally got my second 02 back in October (first was a $500 rusty Verona '73 I had in 1994-95) and I have been slowly getting used to regularly working on a car again, which has been fun. Thankfully the rust on the new one is surface to minimal, but the car has been sitting for at least ten years with minimal exercise (a couple times a year, max) and the sorting has been slowed by an insufficient cash flow. I hope to have it rolling (unimpeded by brakes that need work) by July so I can take advantage of our short season up here and meet some more of the locals...
Speaking of which, I was in line to vote in 2004 at De La Salle in Mpls and had a funny 'holy crap you're a 2002 guy too!' moment with a neighbor, and I missed getting his number after we voted. So if anybody knows this gentleman, he's mid-late 40s by now, let me know. Or if you're reading this, I probably need to borrow some tools and I am still in the neighborhood... my lady said she saw a green 74-76 on East Hennepin about a month ago, so ???
More later, and thanks again forum folks...
