Doubling Down on Delicas

Yes My short wheel base van is still being worked on...I will need to order new specific sized shims for the valve clearances...


But I was looking online thinking about my vehicle choices and found this long wheel base 97 super exceed at a reduced to sell price.


I know the song goes hold em, fold em or walk away...but sometimes you got to seize an opportunity and double down...


I had to ask for a loan from big sister...


test drove myself to make sure it wasn't a write off then shook hands and the seller agreed to drive it to my location.


Its seen some beach holidays in its time...crunchy places but not terminal.
However I basically paid the amount a used running engine is worth...


I will rust treat it and try to save it from crumbling away anymore..


But right now I am trying to confirm the 9" rear diff is LSD and the same ratio as my worn 8" open rear....


Carchaeology commence...
