It's sad how common it is to have beloved vehicles die in untimely deaths right after a bunch of work is put into them.
The GT is alive and running.....kinda. I rode in only once so far. Seems like a fun little car. It's got some "electrical issues" right now. We've changed out the battery, alternator and regulator. There still seems to be a gremlin somewhere.
It already broke down on my roommate a mile away from home and I had to go pick him up. It fired right up a few hours later, though.
The car is in great condition. I love the mechanical flip around headlights. Crank the handle back and the lights flip around. No electronic motor. I don't understand how your lights didn't always flip around?
