I missed that car by days!!!! I went to the house to see it yesterday, but it was gone. Hilarious that it worked out this way. Let me know if you need spare parts! I need your hood and passenger side mirror assembly.
It had been up for 15 hours when I saw it. Basically, the gent put it up on Kijiji in the evening, and I saw it in the morning. Called a buddy/fellow colt GTT fiend (TooLowColt of HPAuto.ca in gatineau), he came out at 11 with his trailer, picked me up at work, went to see it and snapped it up immediately. It's far from perfect, but it's been in the same hands for the past 14 years, so it was treated quite well. The only REALLY frustrating issue is that the old fella (in his infinite old guy wisdom) removed the skirts in 07 because they were contributing to the rocker rust...and ditched them. He was an engineer as well, so added a FMIC to the car in a RIDICULOUSLY clean fashion. It looks OEM, but is far from it. It's also at 12psi vs. 8.
Right now it's at his place, on the trailer still, until I come back from vacation. I want the wife good and relaxed before I break the news to her. I'm only supposed to have ONE toy, and I'm having a hard time selling my 83 Rabbit (2.0, 8v, turbo, etc). Too attached to it
. I recently had to take a huge hit on a 1954 Plymouth I had for sale, just to get it out of the driveway...but it's gone and maybe that will help when I present my Colt GTT case
.
If it turns out that I can't stomach getting rid of my Rabbit, and the wife is divorce-ready over the colt...I may have it up for sale if you're interested
. I'd sell for what I paid, and you've seen the ad so you know that's not a bad deal, lol. If I can't keep it, it's VERY important that this car go to a GOOD home, and not many people out there even know they exist.
