Yeah, I'm afraid the next chapter of this adventure is going to be dickless. I've tried to ask if he's interested in coming back, but have yet to get a straight answer.

And now that he's doing his meth hobo roleplay, it's looking even more unlikely.

Which is unfortunate, because I could really use his expertise and also I'm pretty sure he's the only one who knows how this thing is wired.

I pretty much lurk here and was lurking in his thread, and I have to admit that this is a concern of mine. While I don't intend to be ugly, but I've been a little concerned over what you'll find when you go back to see his work.

The work will be good, I'm thinking. It's just that going back to ANYBODY'S wiring, even your own, is usually hell.

Hey at least now you don't have to spend hours peeling the tape off to find what goes where. Bring some zip ties.

He still posts to the Facebook group but we don't "understand" him, and since we stopped (or at least, reduced) our enabling, he won't post here much anymore.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

Well, most of the hard work is done at this point, the engine works, but it doesn't stop. So the brake situation needs to be fixed, but otherwise, yes, I totally plan to drive it. But, if things don't work out, the offer to trailer it has been made. But, hopefully, that won't be the case. But, at this point, it's just: replace the rear cylinders, run some new brake line for them, fix the pedal situation, and finish the exhaust.

And you know, the offer for you to finish this is still on the table. I'd very much appreciate the help, if you do manage to scratch up enough for a bus ticket or travel or whatever the plan might be. You put the most work into it, you deserve to see it to the finish line. Plus, I need someone with you expertise to help with the tire situation. I would very much like to have a full set of 6 on this things. :v:

So on the return trip to out there, you renting a car or what? I'm guessing that flying is out of budget, and you're probably not doing greyhound again (lol).

I'm not really sure, flying isn't really that expensive compared to driving, and the nearest airport is only 2 hours away. I'm still kinda figuring that out though.

gently caress Greyhound for sure though. That's never happening again.

Everyone I know who's used it even once (including myself) has never had a good experience with them. I'm sure it was great when it was the only practical way to get across several states for cheap but these days, buying a Greyhound ticket is like paying too much for a ticket on the world's worst carnival ride. It's hot, sticky, smells like vomit and body odor, obnoxious people are all around you, and the thing is for drat sure gonna break down at least twice during the ride.

Amtrak is marginally better but only because you can sneak booze onboard and get wasted to pass the time and nobody gives a poo poo.

Anyway, I'm standing by, ready to send out various Mexican snacks and candies if you need morale boosters while you're working. Can't do much for parts or tools, but it sounds like you've got all that taken care of, or at least have a plan in mind. I guess there's a Harbor Freight in town if you want me to send you some poo poo you can dump unceremoniously in the field after you use it once and it breaks :v:
