Won at auction, truck arrives

Won at auction on 28 August for $21,000. Copart's auction fees and AutoBidMaster's fees brought it to $23,885, and towing from the yard was $1,209 - $25,094 delivered. Picked up three days after the auction closed, and the truck arrived the day after that.

This entry marks day one. Every inspection and repair decision that follows will be logged here and in the build list, in the order it actually happens — this truck is genuinely new to the project, not something that's been sitting around.
