Hello,..... New Here,..... Just Bought a 1986 720

[MachineMan]

Sorry for just jumping in.

I couldn't find the, "Introduction Thread"

 

As you can imagine I have a few questions.

I'm a very experienced forum user, so I will always do my best to find the answer in preexisting threads and posts.

 

I'll post some pictures soon, it's dark out now.

Welcome to Ratsun. Post pictures of your 720

[MachineMan]

I just posted,.... it's dark out now.

And, I have to somehow get back into my Flickr account so I can host the photos there.

 

I have huge amount of experience when it comes to forums,..... but for the last 9 years,...nearly no posting at all.

( back in the day I was, more than once, paid to start interesting threads and get them up and rolling )

 

It's been a coons age since I've logged in there, I may loose all  the pictures I have hosted there, and just start a new account.

 

 

 

Wish me luck

This is the ad where I found the truck I bought.

You may notice it is full of baloney.

First off it isn't a Hardbody, second it's not in good condition, third it's not brown.

 

Recent smog cert was obviously backroom deal,.... hoses that go nowhere, components missing.

(more hassle and more cost)

 

I could go on and on.

Too bad it didn't come with 2 license plates, another hassle with a cost attached.

 

Quotes to repair the rust damage,....... in the neighborhood of $1,500.

On the plus side,...... it came with a tub full of parts.

 

 

So, that is how this deal went,......... poorly.

Has that thing been parked upside down! How in the world does the roof rust through like that? In California no less! Make it a convertible.
