I wanted to bring this back up! My dad is still around but hasn't been driving for several years. All the prayers and well wishes you guys sent must have worked at least a little! He can hardly even get out of a chair and he pretty much never goes outside. The LUV hasn't been driven in almost two years and has only gotten about 100 miles of use since we finished it. It has just sat in his garage.
Wednesday of this week he told me it was mine now and to take it home and get it going again...I was nearly at a loss for words!
I've got to get a new battery, probably new tires, find out where all the brake fluid went, and maybe do something about a 5 speed swap if I can figure out what swaps in. I want to be able to drive it on the highway to work every now and then.
Chuck.
