Aqua 4 door sedan....

[bulldog]

Well lads,,,,left at 5:45am and got back at 8pm.....big day but god damn was it worth it. It's not a minter but it's pretty bloody straight with only bits of rust here and there. Almost everything still works and Tony and I got it running like a treat before we left.

Picked it up and it was missing when applying throttle, turns out there was no oil in the stromberg carb (piston to manage richness) hence it would just lean out....needless to say it was like night and day after that...it's a seriously nice runner and the interior is pretty clean.

This Sunday I'll be grabbing any spare parts I need from another 4 door sedan we aquired a week or so ago and putting the 14s off the race car on. I'll do some rust inhibitor stuff to stop the cancer then I'll fix it later. Other than that I couldn't have hoped for a better car for $400!

Keen to sell the steering wheel & boss kit lol?

Nice score, yea Its amazing how many stromberg & slide type carbs are always found dry, and its soo simple to fix, volvo was the same, ran mint as after a minutes worth of fiddling!

[friendlyfire]

looks mint! you and tony sure do go on alot of adventures lol

Sorry cul8r that's my momo and boss I took with me. It's a two second install that makes all the difference when driving these old girls.

Yeah we have certainly covered some miles of late Freindlyfire.

Now wait until I put my lumpy 2300 in it

Fantastic mate. Glad that you saved it and glad that it appears to be in a decent enough condition.

Plenty of work to be done on it but it's certainly not beyond repair.

Fixed some bits and bobs on the car today but most things are good to go anyway. Fitted the 14 inch wheels and tyres off the rally car...rears are pretty much bald! I need to check how wide they are but I'm going to have to buy new ones for the rear so will check what I can stretch over them.

battery light on at 110 haha. did you take some spare batteries with you to get it back?

[bulldog]

nah it's charging it simply doesn't think so...on the list of things to fix

[cul8r]

That looks tank as man, wheels suit it better than the rally car IMO!
