Astro #7

Post by ihatemybike »

Well I just made the deal to purchase my 7th Astro. It's a 1997 Passenger AWD that doesn't run and will never see time on the road again. The body was in decent shape till a couple days ago when someone else bought it for the front end sheet metal and plastic. I get the left overs, which appears to be everything I need to get Grumpy's AWD working again. As a bonus I get a cleaner gray interior to swap into Grumpy.

Here is the original CL ad.

I will drive Grumpy like it's built a lot tougher than it is and need them anyway, just not right away. :muhaha:
