I talked to people who saw it in person and it did not get glowing reviews.

One who was at the Portland Oregon ABFM said:

It pulled in and was smoking up front, when the owner was told he said something like "Oh I forgot to turn on the fan again".
It was also leaking fluid and had a flat tire.
He had a for sale sign up but had no interest after two hours when he left, driving off with a flat and coolant leaking out.

If it sounds to good to be true . . . probably is.

A botched conversion job is one of the worst nightmares to fix, I've found.

This *could* be one of them . . . :nonono:

I did see it up at the ABFM, it was so "fugly" you didn't want to be caught by anyone you know, looking at it.
It was a right mess.
