Guys,
I have a friend from my past who has had his Fjord 2002 pretty much in his garage for the last twenty years. I have an appointment to see it on Friday, so I have been researching the things to keep an eye on. I've always wanted a 2002, so this may be my chance with less question marks since I believe my friend will give me a fair chance at it. I am bringing along a second mutual friend to look at the car. It's got less than 100 k on the odometer. Doug said he bought it circa 1983 and probably only put 2,000- 4,000 miles on it ( my guesstimate).
If it's been sitting in his garage for so long, could that mean a big bill to get it up to par again ? Can the diving board bumpers be easily swapped somewhere down the road at a reasonable price ? Wish it were an earlier year model, but I read in Hemings that the '76 had a sure solidity and that a lot of bugs worked out. Please chime in. Thanks
