| Notes: |
found this car on craigslist, it was cover in moss, mildew, oak leaves, dry wraughtedout tires, cridders eatin wiring, missing fuel tank, ignition switcxh bad, lights all burnt out, seats no good, BUT the BODY IS SOLID< NO RUST. all these other issues were a 3 day weekend fix. allot of cleaning, multi-metering, lying on cold concret to install new fuel tank and lines.
wear down the battery a couple of times, new tires. and wore out my sander cleaing up the rotors and drums.
on a bright note, when the tire dealer put the rancho on the aligment machine iot was still spot on and suspension still very tight. yes it will need new body rubber and some more deep cleaning but it now drivable. a few days ago no one would have thought it would run again. |
