i´m just the mechanic...
... sometime ago my wife spend a message here in the welcome wagon, but she´s a bit lazy with forums. :iconbigg:

But back to my person...
Live in Germany / Berlin, 40 years, married, no children.
Had my first Mopar 20 years ago, a 1979 Ramcharger 360 4wd.
Restored 1 year, drove it 2 years, then priorities changed, like it is at that age....
Have to say, it was still at a time where you had to crawl for parts in US Army bases, instead of putting a word into google.
In 2005 it came back to me with an 1975 Ramcharger SE 360 2wd.
Found it on ebay in Tennessee. Bought it for 2500 bucks, brought it to Berlin, and felt in love...
Since then, it´s more or less a rolling restoration and we made about 70k miles with it.
We have only mopars left, so it is our daily driver now, exept when they use salt at german streets in winter.
One day it will be restored to the original condition (some addons of course..:---)) and hopefully i will never get into the situation to give it away.
If you want to have closer look, here on cardomain:

Then in 2009 we found this very, very, very, nice D100 as already mentioned in Tigerlillys welcome thread. I had to have it, and Tigerlilly bought it.... :lol:
I have never seen a truck from that years in a condition like this, it is very close to what the nerds call "numbers matching". Even the original muffler with the 73´stamping is on it... :iconbigg:
In 2010 it was time for my wifes dreams and after visiting a lot of Mopar Meet´s here in Germany she was looking for a Dart. As she´s no good for hesitation, it didn´t took long... This one again came from Tennessee.
1973 Dart Swinger 318 / 904 / 7 1/4
mostly untouched, in original condition, original paint & interior
in the meantime we´ve done a lot of service, mainly to the suspension, steering, welded and painted some litte spots in the rocker, some machine work, new exhaust, and so on.
That´s why i´m just the mechanic....
Here are some impressions of the Dart:
You´ll have to take a tough stance to get everywhere in an a body.... :lol: :lol:
Mostly i´m active on the german boards like
www.mopar-forum.de and also a little truck community under
www.dodge-trucks-forum.de. Will try to be more active here at fabo too :-), as it gets more and more interesting for me.
So far that´s me / us.
Thanks to fabo and have a good weekend all Mopar lovers out there !
