The shipping was ungodly, (but try getting one to Alaska ) and you may think you are disappointed.....but....I think it is something you wanted bad enough to bid on...and I do not see anything wrong with her. Lots of support here, you can do this. Clean her up and tune her up and be amazed at how well she responds. Besides what fun would be saving her if she was not a little forlorn to begin with. Have fun....I think you will be suprised at how well it will turn out.
