Yeah, I seem to have trouble when buying kit cars. The main problem is I have to take peoples' word for the accuracy of the car. It is very expensive to fly to the east coast from Missoula Montana, so I have bought some kit cars sight unseen. I feel I can fix the Kellison Astra GT & make it nice. But yeah, it pisses me off, when I get mislead & a car isnt in the condition as advertised. I will take some pics tomorrow & upload them.

The car is no longer in the show condition that I paid for. Wally used photos of the car, from when it was still in show car condition, when he advertised it on thesamba. I feel a bit upset & that he mislead me. However, I can fix the car & make it nice again. Right now, I am replacing the clutch cable & accererator cable. Then, I will drain the old gas & go through the fuel system. I am busy unbolting the seats & then I will clean the floor pans & put the carpet & seats back in. Plus, I must re-route some electrical wires. They are running the length of the pan, on the passenger side to the battery. When I got the car, there was no oil in the engine. I am able to turn it over by hand, but I dont know if it will run yet. I will remove the coil center wire & crank the starter & move some oil within the engine, before I try & start it.

There are 3 main sections that puzzle cars are placed into on autopuzzles. If nobody solves..then the puzzle is moved into the next level, for puzzlers to solve. horen2tas...you are mistaking your anxiety. I was allowed to post Skip20's custom Pinto on autopuzzles.com. It is a feature puzzle for people from all over the world to try & solve, what the car is & who built it. Anyhow, I thank Skip20 for allowing me to use his custom Pinto that he created, as an autopuzzle.

Sounds similar, but I am not ready to put every person I have auto transactions with..into the category of scumbags. Although, I am starting to hate east coast car sellers..wish more west coast peeps had the type of cars I am interested in. It is what it is.

Wally is in Port Republic, Maryland. Not sure if the equipment is from Calgary or Edmonton or another city. It was bank to bank transaction, everything will be alright. I am glad that he is coming to Montana with the car, the weather is always a factor, this time of year. I'll just drive it carefully the rest of the way to Missoula, as it has summer tires & not all season tires on the car. He is going through the car now & is going to put new gas in the car & have it running nice. It is powered by a 2180cc vw engine.

The owner is asking around $700 or $800 for the car. If you are around Michigan, you might want to get the car. It wont be an easy car to fix, but it would be neat. Let me know if you want the car, so I can give you the contact information.

I called him today. He is coming out to Montana in January & will be towing the car here. He has to pick up some equipment for his company, at the Canadian border & will haul the Kellison Astra GT here. I am supposed to meet him somewhere here in Montana. He said maybe the 7th or the middle of January. Yes, the car is all paid for. I got it for 5k, I saved over 1k off from Wally's asking price on the samba listing. So it is a good deal that I got.

Everything was arranged for that date. While moving the car into position to be loaded, the throttle cable broke & the driver of the transport was a single driver. The car became a non-operational car & the truck driver would not take the car. Anyhow, Wally is fixing the car & is arranging to bring it to me.

Very nice Aquila. I cant wait to get my Kellison Astra GT. I have already bought a car cover for it. It is a matter of getting the car shipped to me here in Montana. Wally(the guy I bought it from) is very nice & is working with me to get the car to me. Very hard to find anyone willing to travel to Montana, this time of year, transport quotes have been outrageous. I am sure I will get the car soon.
