The car needed 1 new tire. But it started right up, and he drove it for a few miles when he got it home (carried it on a trailer back home) and it runs well. Needs a new muffler, but that's about it.
and now..the rest of the story....
He bought a second one. :roll: It's "for parts". Doesn't run. The timing belt broke at 80K miles and trashed the engine. It's been sitting as a parts car since then. But they only used odds and ends..the body is in FANTASTIC condition, so the thought is...(oh god, more thinking
) Drive the drivable one as a commuter car; put the engine from the rabbit pickup we have into the non-drivable car; chop the back half of the car off; chop the front half of the truck off; marry the front of the car to the back of the pickup and end up with an extended cab pickup.
One thing about the assembly line cars...they're like leggos. You can just take the blue panel from that one, bolt it to the yellow front end of THAT one, then make a few cuts and welds to the frame (very few) and bolt it all together and you have a new car.
geez...His rabbits are breeding as quickly as MINE. :x :drunk:
About the nose and wriggling...I'm thinking a black plastic (heavish) triangle which is bulged out a bit. A few holes drilled in it for air to flow thru..but it would quiver slightly as the air went thru it. Or a black propeller would work. The drivable car is deep blue gray, so it's a "blue" rabbit
The truck/car thing will have..just HAVE to be painted as a "broken chocolate" (the truck is brown, the car is yellow)
hmmm....we do some metal casting...I wonder if I could come up with a running rabbit to mount on the hood....
