Ha, no kidding. not that surprised as they are rarely for sale around here. It came with all the parts but pistons but I had to swap crank shafts and install new pistons. All the regular safety stuff too like tires, front brake pads and general fixing up. Good thing is that it came with lots of good spare parts. Should be running in the next few days I hope.

What did you end up getting?

I did not really end up getting anything instead, I am just always shopping for an LC.
