Re: mechanic
You might want to check with Mr.Recovery (one of the other moderators), as he works with a company that restores and works on old military vehicles. He is in Dunedin Florida. If not, he might know of someone who can help you

Fred: Here is a manual you can download. If you can't use it, show it to your mechanic.

Re: mechanic
Fred. Don't say you can't do it until you try. These Mutts are the easiest cars on earth to repair. The manuals were made for kids to use and the wiring is all numbered. Replacement parts are somewhat inexpensive and this board is here to walk you through it all. You can always pay someone but for the price you're going to pay someone else you could pay for lots of parts. I'm just sayin'.

Re: mechanic
Hello Fred, and welcome to the "8" send me a pm and we may be able to work something out, you are about 2 hours from me and perhaps I could drive down/over on a weekend and look it over for you and get you started.

Mr. Dibbles you have been away from these vehicles far too long. This is in reference to the term carmrdibbles wrote:These Mutts are the easiest cars on earth to repair.
