Who the hell designed that thing, and what were they smoking?!?! That rant is over (until I have to do the next round of wrenching on that monster), and I have to say now that it's driveable again, it's actually a pretty decent bit of kit. The oil is going to get changed today, and some other little loose ends I want to tie up, but overall I think I managed to score myself a pretty decent deal, the radiator torture not withstanding. I'll keep everyone posted how it holds together.
