Congrats!! So, when's the IDI going in?

FWIW that's how I got the '83 300D I'm driving daily...rear brakes kept locking up and the guy parked the car for 2 years. His brother's a good friend of mine, and got control of the car and got tired of looking at it....so he told me that, if I could fix the brakes, I could have it. Replaced the master cylinder and the rubber lines for maybe $100 total, and other than a few minor coolant issues, the car's been running like a top ever since

let me be the first to offer you $50 for it, that's right, I'll pay you 250% of what you paid

Wow, you got me beat by a long shot.

I scored my crew cab for the price of making the guys old CJ5 Jeep run that had been sitting for 2 years. Spent about $200 on Jeep parts.

Loved the truck but didn't like the gasser so.......
Bought the diesel for $300

By the time I replace what's worn out and sell off the left over parts, I should be in the truck for just about nothing.

I've seen good deals before, but that one may beat them all

$20!!!!! Thats right $20!!!

Not really it ain't - your out of pocket cost is indeed $20, but the time to remove the old brake line and install the new one should also be factored in, as they would have paid quite a lot for this if they took it to a shop. Also I hope you replaced the entire brake line, and didn't just patch it - heck for a truck like that I'd replace all brake lines at once

Looks like it has Alcoas as well you lucky SOB!

I was just gonna say, you could sell a rim and make triple your money back in an instant!

Nicely done is all I can say.... nicely done!!! I love it when people use their noggin for more than a hat rack.

My best deal was an 83 Caddy that didn't run and the guy gave it to me...took $4 worth of vacuum hose (which he burnt off pouring gas down the TBI) and a 30 amp fuse. After about 10,000 miles, a rocker arm broke, cost me $6 I think. But even when it broke, I was able to ride 35 miles home with A/C on and drove around town for a couple days like that too... It wasn't no 96 Ford F250 ... but it was a nice rider.
