The Ford Barn - View Single Post - At my wits end, with this no-start problem!

Hi again; sorry to all for not being "on-the-air" for a while. I've had more pressing issues at home with my wife's multiple doctor's appointments and two upcoming surgeries, along with her facing a long recovery, that have kept me focused on more important things.

As my friend Hardtimes shared, I did indeed sell the car just the other night at a loss, as the next 6 months are going to see me not having much time to play with the car and continue to troubleshoot her, as well as the fact that I needed to convert some of my investment back into cash to help with upcoming medical expenses. So, I'm sorry if that disappoints any of you, but I had to face the reality of upcoming expenses plus lack of time. And, just to clarify my "character", the gentleman who bought her was made well-aware by me of the issues that exist with her, as I never sell a car without being totally honest about known problems, and, in this case at least, also about what I've tried on her so far to get her going. He is looking forward to spending the time on her to get her up and running again, so I feel good about that.

In closing, I do thank you all for your kind help, as well as your understanding in this matter.
