    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

    She rides again!

    Hey!! .... Picked up Patrol 1985MK late this afternoon. Met the owner, a true blue 94 year old. All he really wanted was to know that the old girl was going to a good home. What a lesson with all the little tricks. Secret theft /immobilizer alarm, control for electric brakes re towing, etc etc. Then he gave me FULL workshop manual plus receipt for significant work and service done in 2018...whoa!!! Its a little shock to the system wrt manual locks, manual windup windows and zero computer stuff..I realized how lazy I had become. BUT this is now my project .

    Arranging a a detailing to get some small paint defects done then a few days at a mechanic of universal great repute with budget of a few $thousand if needed.

    Yes I know some will say over capitalized but whatthehey eh? I figure if I can keep total cost below 6-7 thousand Ive done well.
    Will try to get some piccies up soon.
    Thanks for support all!
