Hello from Minneapolis,
Just bought my wife a 1960 Valiant V200, so I recon I'll be at this site often for advice and a few parts. The car (rather cars - one parts car came with it) is in original condition with about 65,000 miles. Not particularly pretty, but minimal rust on the read quarters and a relatively clean underside. The interior is shabby, and will need some work. I figure with the parts car at my disposal I'm ahead of the curve in bringing this thing back into reasonable shape. The goal is for it to be a 10 foot driver. (looks good from ten feet and drives well). All of the chrome, glass and lenses are still there. The previous owner drove it until recently, but noise from the rear end put an end to that. It sounds like a u-joint to me.
feel free to tell me I'm an idiot, or really smart.
