    Uriel

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm Uriel from Idaho (and originally from France).
    I've decided last year to bite the bullet and have my childhood dream (one of them at least), buy a cl***ic car. I bought a really nice 1946 Lincoln Continental Coupe.

    The experience did not go quite as expected and here I am ;) Reading up on fixing it.

    I am actually looking at selling it, either as a project or once I get it all fixed up.
    Backstory is, I bought it sight unseen from Utah and the guy kind of oversold it... It is in great shape, but it had not been run in a few year since the last owned p***ed away. When I received it , it took me a few month to understand how the whole thing worked. I had never seen a flatty and bear in mind that I am a "millennial" who learned to drive and fix solely diesel cars; I still have a soft spot for my father's 1994 Ford Scorpio with the Peugeot-powered "Indenor" engine (it was slow but dad sold it at 550,000 Km.... for 500 euros).

    More on the car and myself in other threads and greetings to everyone.

    Best

    - Uriel
