New Texas owner
Hello all. I purchased a '78 L48 and am obviously very excited about the whole deal. I've always wanted a 1978 from the moment I saw the first one. It was the year I graduated from high school so if you do the math you'll notice that I am in a full blown "middle age crazy" mode. I will make no apologies for that aspect of my purchase. I've busted my **** for a lot of years and can finally afford some toys.
I look forward to your input and help. I'm probably not a good enough wrench turner to own this car but its a little late now !
