So, I live in Austin, Tx. For SOME reason there was an Albin Ballad for sale and I jumped on her!
And she's beautiful! In a 1977 sort of way- she's had the deck repainted by what appears to have been a blind, spaz. So there 's the cosmetic aspect that will eventually be addressed...
Mechanically she's sound w/ a Volvo MD 7A, I've replaced the impeller, checked the oil... Anything else??
She's dirty... dirty dirty, used as a racer for 6 years, but she's proud she's won a number of races.
ANY suggestions for things to look for or issues that need addressing would be MUCH APPRICIATED!!! - and if you're ever in Austin - look me up!!
Thanks!!
