Hi Y'all,
Just an update on the Orange 73 ES I bought off of Ebay a number of weeks back. After plugging a LOT of vacuum leaks, rewiring, new hoses-every one of them!, oil, water/anti-freeze, gaskets, adding a manual choke to the Weber, removing a couple hundred pounds of air-conditioning (yes-saved and neatly packed away for later) and f.i. wiring harness and module (again-saved intact), I might actually get to drive the car. It now starts and runs fine. I have a few more items to sort, but I'm looking forward to my first real drive. It's still a long way off from being very usable, but the body is pretty decent with a few small rust holes in the drivers rocker and floor pan-nothing I can't easily fix myself. You all were right-it's an easy car to work on. Very enjoyable so far. But, I have to wonder what the p.o.s were thinking when they had the work done. Very shoddy workmanship.

As a heads up-there is what looks to be a late 60s coupe in Milwaukee area for sale. It probably needs help. No price posted-just a phone number. I would be happy to forward the info to anyone interested. Right now it's sitting outside in the rain-pity.
