Be Gentle
« on: January 02, 2007, 11:28:14 AM »
:shock: Hi new to all this forum type thing. After years of reading Lowrider I have at last bought a car with juice `93 Fleetwood, 2 pumps, 4 dumps, 6 batts, 20" wires all fitted in the states. My problem is the numpty I bought it off has really abused the car since it came into the country at the start of 2005. I can do all the work myself but I need to find someone who can supply the seals and other spares (the system is all Showtime equipment ) Heres hoping somebody can help.

Thanks for the response,
Yes it is the burgundy car from e-bay I bought it with 3 minutes to go in the auction with out ever seeing it  :oops: must have been a moment of insanity. The lad selling it seems to have been less than honest in his description (he couldn`t even get the model name right) His claim that the only thing wrong with it was a couple of flat batts was far from the truth. two of the dumps are jammed open,to compensate he wound the slow down valve in so tight its split the valve. the batts are all dead, the prestolite blocks are burned out due to using it with low power, all the cylinders leak, even the top up plugs are missing from the oil tanks! but I still love it. looks great parked next to my `76 sedan deville.
 It will all be sorted and back on the road by summer.
Oh, and I live in Middlesbrough so Darlo`s pretty close.

matt and i looked at it a time back.

nice base, i dont see any major probs. dont hop it too much or it will fold! check this by keeping an eye on door/boot shut lines.

seals are universal............ take the old one to any hydro place OR post a pic if you want info to upgrade to a better type.
