Hey, Stranger, how’s it going?
I’m wrestling a second time with the Versa, as once I got the replacement engine installed, the transmission turned out to be poop. I just need to put a hanger on the engine and drop out the transmission. Once that’s finished, I hope to finally start work on the Vandura. I’d like to have it registered by start of school. Get it started, install the 5sp, first steps.
What’s new with you?

If those people don’t get back to me by this time it’s tough titties to them. I’m out.
If it can be dealt with by email I’ll help them if I can... but don’t expect anything. If it happens take it as a pleasant surprise that I didn’t let you sit until Monday.

That’s the thing. I have biz email on my phone, so the client CAN get in touch via email, but they said that they’d “call.”
I’m gonna wait. 17 minutes and I’m out.

yeah, the engine you were expecting, but the trans is a bit of a shock. once it is right, it ought to be good for a LONG while to come.
all this work on the versa should be getting you primed up for the vandura. the work should go fairly quick once you get started in on it. and like i have been trying to tell you, all you got to do is keep moving the piles of parts closer together, and before too long it will be a finished project.
walked away from a close one on saturday.

yes, 19 questions left........ heh,
drove it all the way to the scene of the crash. a young girl was driving the other car, and she didnt see me. she pulled right out in front of me, from the road to her subdivision. i didnt have time to do much. there wasnt room to get around her, front or back, and i was doing all of about 45 when she pulled in front. i know that i was still doing all of about 40 when i hit, while standing on the brakes downshifting.
i feel downright blessed to have of been able to walk away from that.......
ever hear of kintsugi?
i been out in the yard eyeballing what donor i want to put back underneath the body. i am going to try to UNtweak the body/ doors that wont shut, and try to put as many of the original pieces back together again as i can manage....... will be a ton of work for sure. and it will be a shortbed stepside by the time i am done........

How did the girl fair? That’s a lot of heavy iron on your truck that got rearranged.

she had her bell rung, she was OUT of it. after the door to her car got pried open, she was carried to a car with some air while waiting for the first responders , and then from there placed on the stretcher and carried away in an ambulance. she had come to, and was somewhat responsive, but she got knocked for a loop. she was in one of these......
the left corner of my bumper hit about even with the edge of the side marker. her car didnt LOOK that bad off, but it took a BIG hit........

Was there any question of fault or cause?

no, i explained to the state troopers what happened and how. they looked at the skidmarks and the angles of the damage on the truck/car, and they said that they could tell that yes, it was how it happened....... the troopers were real nice......

you know how it goes, WHATEVER they are WILLING to give me, is not enough. its not even about the money. i am going to put the truck back together regardless of what i get payout on it, and whatever the buyBACK IS........
some stuff just isnt for sale, at any price. sure insurance can SAY its only worth “X”, and put a number on it.but the truck isnt leaving........
