Or perhaps make a man show?

Quote from Frogstar :
Blargh, battery in the MB was too low on water to build up enough charge for me to start it today. Ran out to grab some distilled water and threw it on the charger at 6A, looks like it's taking a charge now. It's dated 8/09, so there's a good chance it still has some life in it.
I also dug through the documents that were in it to get a feel for the history. It was first bought in Oklahoma, the owner was pretty meticulous about maintenance. By 96 it ended up being purchased in Colorado (not too far from Trygve, actually). A few years later, circa 2002, it ended up in Grand Island (Nebraska, probably a 2.5ish hour drive from here). I bought it in Lincoln, about an hour's drive.

Yep.

Probably, but I know a few strange individuals laugh out loud
I suspect his were too old, though.
Did they just have the car parked and not drive it for a while?

Glad you got it home safe so that now you can tinker.

Awwww your car has a story Cloud9

We can try, damnit!!! Ranting But that's also like saying the real recipe for fried chicken was lost. The ingredients are the same . . . you just have to find the right mixture.
I don't fault you for trying. But it's not quite the same since they don't know all of the ingredients that were used.

The tale I was told is that a father and son put the turbo engine in as a project, then it sat in their garage for some time, and the guy I got it from traded them a different car for it, being a big diesel fan. Decided he wanted the money to put into his VW diesel (a newer Jetta).

It looks like the oil pressure sender is just plain not hooked up, along with various other things in the engine bay. I have some learning to do. The AC system is also not installed. Frogstar needs his AC in the summer!

The bus had one too, I left the only documentation I had of it in the bus for the new owner (high school photo of some girl who was evidently going to fark the owner at that time).

I don't have that kind of trust these days. Not in anyone. Sadly, my past has affected my trust and judgement. I hope you got the truth from the seller laugh out loud

I used my Shopko rewards to pay for the distilled water. Their system is kind of janky, they just print out a little receipt (likely hoping you'll lose it). You get $10 back for every $300. I used it to get the distilled water, a can of PB Blaster, and a bag of Whoppers.

Yeah. Wasn't the story that Sameul Taylor Coleridge wrote Kubla Khan after being inspired by an Opium dream? And Byron would get hopped up and nail tons of chicks?
