20k left and she's scrap!OK. . . High mileage now. Standing offer has dropped to $2300. . .
The reality is quite the opposite. What I’ve spent the past two years doing, with Wyatt’s help, is to bring Medina back to an original-like and reliable state. That took many hours of work and almost 4k miles of driving her on various roads for assessing and troubleshooting. I have demonstrated (by driving her for over a dozen hours and over 700 miles in just the past four days, at high average rates of speed) that she is super solid, smooth, and reliable -- to the point that I trusted her on Thursday to get me to an important meeting halfway across the state on time.
Did you really put your cup on her quarter?
You have that darn white stripe and STILL set the cup on the pretty paintYep. I was wondering who would notice first. I should have had no doubts
PS: this was a cardboard cup of coke, no ice -- so no condensation. I checked.

In other words, your offer is an order of magnitude off
That’s how much I paid to redo the front seats and get new floor mats.I have made my peace with the repaint and the stripe, at least until the time comes for a repaint and new top -- which will not take place for at least another couple of years.
I agree. And, big point for me: hold AND hot starts are a breeze. Cold: one pump of the gas pedal, turn the key, start. Warm or hot: turn the key and go. I am a fan of the mini-starter that @71Polara383 convinced me to get!
That cost was very steep, but the sewing pattern is 100% correct (@saforwardlook helped me make sure of that) and the restoration seat material is not only correct but also really pleasant to sit on for hours on end. While the lower back support is admittedly not as good as it is on the best modern seats (MB and Volvo especially), I was comfortable driving the whole day yesterday. That was not the case before the seat restoration, and was not the case in some other cars I have owned (my BRZ was the worst -- guaranteed sore back after just a couple of hours on the road).
That is the bulb for the cornering light on the side of the front fender. It would not fit the fender repeater housing at the top of the fender.
Those are the seller's fingers (pic from the eBay listing), not mine. There is a thread about the fender repeaters, if memory serves.
