It starts and runs good! And hey! No rod knock! Ah ha, actually the engine runs strong and very good compression, (I just finished a major engine overhaul, so I am glad I do not have to tear into this engine, or so it appears at this point.) I suspect maybe a radiator leak up front, I will look for it. Needs some front end body work as he bumped under a semi trailer.
I am checking why it was low on coolant, leak? No leak detected yet but there must be one somewhere.
I will update with progress.
Registration good for awhile!, title is clean.
Owned by a family I am friends with.
195/60r15 tires like brand new, for sale, as I have some lesser tires I can put on this fixer upper. 195 60 15 on rim or off rim.. b.o.
I just mounted the headlights back in place, then proceeded to wash the car twice from all the heavy Alaska crud (glacial silt). It cleaned up pretty well, night and day difference and now I can see what I got. I still need to do the interior! Man, that will be another day and will take days. Ah ha.
I will post a paid ad under cars in a few days, next week. I need to pull the radiator coweling 2" forward or so. Engine sounds great! 153k miles, the piston rings seem to have seated perfectly, (good power, high compression engine, (I have rebuilt a few)). I notice a noise up front, maybe brakes, too early to tell, but I will chase it down.
I want to get a few more things done b4 setting a price, meanwhile, make an offer.
Update; Wed night; I found the radiator is leaking, so I am in the process of replacing the radiator.
(So the car is down for now.)
Will make a great commuter car, good gas mileage, rack the miles up on this one and keep your prized gem for the weekend catbird.
(I may consider renting this car if you purchase an insurance plan.). Short term ..as needed.
