Well, if you haven't heard, it has been found. Looks like I only responded to all of the facebook posts! We got it back on 6/17 after it was recovered from being stolen. It was quite a fiasco to get it to a storage lot, but I got it all figured out with the help of Dean Hanson. My partner and I also decided to move right after that, so I haven't had much time to go work on it. Tomorrow is the first day we're going back to start once again.

If the certain individual just painted over the paint, it would have been easy to remove that outer layer and possibly restore the beauty underneath. Unfortunately, they did quite a hack job of scraping off the stripe on the front. Sad days, not sure what our plans will be for that, but it's more of an aesthetic and can be figured out down the road.

Another unfortunate mishap is that it got a little damaged while coming out of the impound yard after the recovery...Long story short the radiator support got damaged a bit and may have crunched the radiator a little bit. Not sure what's recommended for this. I'll probably drain the system, pull it all out and see if it could be bent back to usable shape. Maybe the radiator can be salvaged, maybe this is an upgrade opportunity.

Those are more or less the new items added to the "Needed Now" and "Waiting" list. We're still going to be doing all the other things mentioned previously, I'll give another update tomorrow and beg for advice.

Glad to be back!

Also, I've been naughty. I haven't joined the registry yet! Mainly because I haven't seen the model name yet. I'll figure that out tomorrow as well.
