Sadly retiring my 100Q
Well, I have finally decided to throw in the towel on my
old '89 100Q. Enough things just went wrong with it that
I can no longer justify keeping it running (it's a third
spare car).
The alternator died, needs new brushes/regulator.
On the way home from discovering that, one of the
main seals on my tranny/differential let go and all
the tranny oil spewed onto the road and engine.
Refilled that, but the new stuff keeps leaking out.
So it is drivable for a bit, but not for long.
The shocks are also pretty much dead, and the cosmetics
are terrible, so even if I did fix it up, I wouldn't have much.
So, I have decided it is (**SOB**) more useful as a parts
car than a running car. The most valuable things on it
are the Bentley manuals, the new tires on almost new wheels,
and the very nice Kenwood CD player.
Before I call one of the tow-away places, does anyone on
the list have any interest? If you're around southern NH,
I can get the car there. Otherwise......
