Zeek 2,286 #2 Posted September 18, 2012 Welcome new one . . you have been lured You will find we have sort of a "picture fetish" here so it would be great if you could post some pictures of your new find find so we can enjoy it too! As far as value, if you felt it was worth what you paid, then you got a good deal! Paint ain't that hard if your mechanicals are sound :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
