Re: Recently purchased 82 (mannymen)
Here are pics of the 82 i recently purchased that you guys have helped me with on several issues. these pics were taken the day i purhased it about 2 months ago.
Which one is you?
Is it silver or silver-green? Hard to tell from this photo - sunlight I suppose.
You can get a new steering wheel such as the Grant 791 and it bolts in directly withoud mods and looks georgous. I ended up putting in a Lecarra (Ecklers tricked me-tried to order the Grant) but the Grant looks better IMHO as it has split spokes insted of solid spokes.

Congrats, she looks great. I always wanted an 82 but could not find one around here, so I had to settle for a 79. Thanks for sharing the pics. More!
