Default rescuing a roadster today

I am picking up a new roadster today, well kinda, the top is not working on it currently along with the 3 page list of issues we wrote up on the car when we checked it out. i've been negotiating a price on this car since January and the owner finally agreed this morning. I'm getting excited as spring is here and this will be my first convertible.

That's great news Rob. Be sure to post here any obscure parts that you need to bring it up to snuff. I'm sure we can all help you out with some of these if we have them collecting dust. I've liquidated most items but I still have a few gems layin around. Again, let us know what you need.

Ps. Sorry for waking you up last Friday.

Thought too that it was a crossfire. Man, by looking at it, hard to imagine all the documented issues! Your work and fun is cut out for you��

Man Rob, When I look into buying a used car, can I pay to fly you out and evaluate for me? A 3 page list has GOT to be great for the negotiation! Congrats. on the new project.
