Default I'm back!

Sold the pictured D2 in my avi about 6 months ago, and have missed it since. I picked up this SE7 D1 today from an excellent seller who has had it since 2002, and taken great care of it. Looking forward to fixing it up little by little. Just wanted to say hey and show it off. Here it is

Thanks, Willow Green as well. Needs a good buffing though. The hood and roof is faded. I will probably flat black plastidip those.

Thanks, I thought so too. Other than the faded roof/hood and dent in passenger side by a golf ball which I think paint-less dent repair could fix, it's good. The accessories alone (when new) cost what I paid for the whole thing. It's only got 122k on it and it runs like a sewing machine. I checked it out for about 5 hours. It runs cool confirmed by infrared thermo that never got above 165F pointed right at the thermostat housing after idling for 30 minutes. Only 'engine' noise is from the driver side cat rattling. No signs of previous over heating or HG blowing. Interior is also in good shape. PO actually had the headliner redone recently just as stock, and replaced all door rubbers. It has its quirks too. I tested the CDL of course and got it locked, but could not get it back unlocked. I ended up pulling the front driveshaft, so I could drive it home. I will have to take that apart and re-grease it. The cruise control and passenger side window aren't working, and a few suspension bushings are completely shot. Nothing major though. I can't wait to get working on it over spring break.

That's what I was thinking.

The body stuff I wouldn't really worry about if you plan to take it out in the trails.
