Unfortunately it is so. The car ran for maybe 2500 miles after aquiring it 
from you and the fuel distubutor started acting up on me. It got to the 
point where the car would not run over 2000rpm. While the distributor was 
off and I was waiting on seals so I could rebuild it the fuse panel got wet 
and shorted the FP relay and caused the pump to run until it pumped the tank 
dry (lines were off) then once the tank was empty the pump overheated and 
melted itself, the plastic bracketry, and all of the wiring all the way to 
the relay. Replacing/repairing the harness was too big of a job for me in my 
limited time frame, and the pump is too expensive to replace, so I bought 
the red 5k noT noQ I have been talking about to replace the grey car. The 
grey car has donated many important things now though, and it's spirit lives 
on. The shift boot, parking brake boot, steering wheel, turn signal switch, 
euro lights, and wheels have all gone to making the red car flawless.

The dark grey TQ is in good shape though, but living at a friends  house in 
FL until I get time/money to go rescue it.
