u/Bronc74

Friend's father-in-law is selling his 1972 C3 with 350/Turbo 350, power disc brakes, power steering, no A/C. Headlights function well, new radiator and hoses recently installed. Interior isn't terrible but needs to be updated, but he has almost everything new in boxes (carpet, door panels, seat padding, weather seals). It was originally yellow, but repainted years ago and it shows, but it's a drivers car. Recently took a look and have no real concerns. Need to double check the birdcage though.

Here's the kicker....He's asking $10k. He's in his 80's and doesn't want to go through the hassle of selling it.

I currently have a 68 Fastback, 74 Bronco, 89 Land Cruiser and 94 Land Cruiser with a dozen other cars/trucks/motorcycles I've worked on and sold over the years. I'm not concerned with wrenching, just don't know anything about the C3 market. Talk to me, y'all.

Bought my '94 80 series back in February with 68k miles, now pushing 72k miles. There was a bit more rust on the under side than what was shown in pictures (thanks BaT) so I decided to pull the stock running boards, bumpers, etc and build it the way I wanted. Still a work in progress, but enjoying it nearly every day!

Recent Updates:
-Slee rear bumper
-White Knuckle sliders
-ARB front bumper
-Prinsu roof rack
-STEDI fod lights
-2" OME lift
-misc engine updates (radiator, hoses, thermostat, fan clutch, etc)

As title states, water is leaking out the bottom of my garbage disposal, specifically down the conduit line which makes me nervous. Is this a fix or replace situation?

Looking at buying a lake house and was curious if it's dumb to add an additional 8 feet to the existing cantilever deck or should we demo deck and build entirely new one? The addition would obviously have its own support posts and all work would be done by a professional. Is this common or just dumb? Also want to add stairs.

**hot tub would stay where its at 😆

I'm replacing a cracked radiator and doing the belts, thermostat, etc while it's out. Noticed the belts aren't aligned well and the front belt is only riding halfway on the pulley. Is there supposed to be a spacer to align the idler pulley?

1994 80 series starts up just fine when engine is cold, but if I drive it around town and try to start, it cranks and cranks until I give it a little gas, then stutters up. Once running it drives just fine. I've already replaced fusible link, fuel filter, misc vacuum hoses, but no change. Again, it only happens when the engine is warm like its vapor lock. Is that a thing with these stock engines? What else should I check out?

I (40m) have been experiencing PACs for 15 years now. I'm healthy weight, minimal alcohol, don't smoke, no prior health issues. CHADS VASc score of 0. They became more noticeable and persistent with episodes almost daily lasting a few hours at a time. Majority of time it starts in the evening after kids go down, but this reading I'm sharing started when I went out for a run last week. 5min into run I noticed high HR (175bpm) and felt winded, so I turned around and walked home. Frustrating bc I'm an avid runner who can knock out 7-10 miles no problem, but this is becoming more common.

My EP (highly respected doc) is stumped bc he sees PACs but thinks it may be something that developed in-utero which I've been living with my whole life. Have an echo next week and possible cardiac MRI depending on findings. He's not set on ablation yet, wants to rule out structural defects first and see if low dose Flecainide and Metoprolol stabilize symptoms.

Not looking for diagnosis, but curious if anyone has seen or experienced similar and what their thoughts are.
