Well, it's been about 10-12 years since I've been on the Brickboard, used to spend a lot of time in the 200 forum but since moving to Durango CO and getting into Jeeps instead of canyon carvers I've been absent. However I've had this sitting on a 4 post lift in the shop for all those years waiting for me. Finally getting to it thinking it will be a good winter project for the next few years.

Sadly it looks like Rusty closed RPR a couple years ago but it seems there are plenty of sources still out there. Glad to see VIP is still around, they were helpful with my Duette

One small rust through behind the passenger front wheel (drive's side had a panel welded in before I got it) Last registered in '85 79k on the odometer, I've had it for 15+ years.

    Wow Dave, good to hear your keyboard again. There are still a few of us Brickboard "oldsters" lurking around. I too am in the middle of a looooong drawn out resurrection of an 1800ES. I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel though....

    One of the best sources I've found for (correct) parts is Eric who goes by "Planetman" here on the BB. I'm sure he'll see your post and chime in. If not, I'll give you his contact info.

    BTW that's a pretty straight looking 1800 you've got there!

      Nice!! I do miss the ES that I had for a while back in San Diego, like a fool I sold it when I moved up here. Good to see the 'board is alive and well. BTW, do you remember the "Volvo Farmer" Bob W? He's up here and doing very well. Looking forward to being a part of this again.
      Thanks for the reply.
