Hello all,
I'm not a frequent poster, and my period of activity on this list was a
while ago, but I've been learning from all of your conversations for many
years now and applying the learnings to the ongoing resurrection of my '73
Fasty. The car used to be my daily driver (only has 68K original miles, 20K
of them from me) until someone ran a stopsign and t-boned me on the driver's
side in 2005...it took a while to get a reasonable settlement from the
insurance company, to determine if they had "totaled" it, to find some of
the needed parts, to replace the brake system (the main line through the car
ruptured in the accident so I figured all the lines were near the end...all
new lines, hoses, master & wheel cylinders, pads/shoes, etc.), to graft in
new panels where the rear end had rusted, and more...but yesterday the car,
recently painted and sporting a refreshed interior, new window seals and new
wheels/tires, passed its first safety inspection in 10 years and went for a
first drive. It tracks very well (all tie rod ends and ball joints were also
replaced in the last 10 years) and was a pleasure to drive.

T3 on the road :-)
