I used to say I never had a Fly that was in a condition that required a lot of work. I always thought that karma would come around and get me, and sure enough, I got one off Ebay a couple of years ago that was sealed in its box, looked fine, and was immobile. Unattached wires, busted bushing holders, front end mashed too tight, and a motor that was so bad I took it apart to see what could make a motor do what it was doing. The gears, (both) were impossible to mesh, and there was a huge long crack in the chassis- the whole enchilada in one car. The body was perfect. I must say, that was a very satisfying week of repair and invention. One of my favorite cars, but it was a long way to the happy ending.
