Hey BobT,
I must admit... I'm not a great mechanic... So I wanted to buy a car that was in good condition.
Originally, this car was from Kansas 3 or 4 years ago. My mechanic bought it via eBay. He fine tuned the engine again. Never had to do body works. For as far as I know, I'm the 2nd registered owner (my mechanic never registered it on his name or company).
Then after he had his fun with the engine, he wanted to sell the car. After almost half a year on the market, I tought "Hey, this car is something nice! I buy it!!" (that was december 2008)
I only installed the sunvisor, fender skirts, fender guides, spotlight, lighted hood ornament, turn signals, traffic light finder and a dash fan. Also had to replace the heat gauge (that was an adventure!! pffft... )
Long story, short story... yes, I bought it in Antwerp
The pictures below are showing the car right before I bought it.
Greetz,
Kurt
