TheYeti Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That is a pretty cool gift. I dig the 81 (?) panel wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sweet, you need a thick picture frame for it so you can mount it on the garage wall. Glad you arent opening it. My manuals are full of grease and the spines are broken from setting tools on them to hold the page open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sweet, you need a thick picture frame for it so you can mount it on the garage wall. cool!!!!!!!!!!out of direct, or even partial sunlight of course! put some of those sillica packs in with it. you know, those little pillow packs that come with new shoes that say "DO NOT EAT." since when do new shoes come with a snack anyways? you do realize that since they have seen fit to put "DO NOT EAT" on those sillica packs only means someone has.......

Durania Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Woman: I am sick and tired of you all the time fixing that thing. You should have bought the BRAT! Man: I am sick and tired of you not shutting up. Look who's on the bike! Nice score Connie, hope you enjoyed my maintenance manual voice over.

ferox Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Sorry, I know this thread is probably way over, but your response to my offer kind of threw me... Originally posted by feroxIf you want a companion manual to your sealed copy let me know. Orignally posted by Bucky92I have an FSM..this is just nostalgic A lot of collectors I know like to have an opened copy as a companion to their wrapped or boxed collectible. I was just offering to give you mine for that purpose. I'll take your initial response as a "not interested", I just wanted to clarify an apparent misunderstanding.
