Sympathies mate; but isn't that part of the 'experience' of driving a rod?
Cars that are temperamental, don't always function properly, have draughts, leaks, and rattles to fix?
If they drove like a modern car where would be the fun?

With your considerable skills I'm sure you'll get the bugs ironed out.

I agree to a point. For me spending almost 30K on a car it shouldn't come with a bad trans. Little things I would (and did) expect. I'll get it ironed out for sure but just feel I was lied to by the previous owner. I suppose that's what I get for not going out there and looking at it first hand. It would have been a 22 hour round trip and the wife talked me out of it. That will never happen again.
