Garage
It started up and ran a little rough when I finished putting it back together. It was not even giving a sign of ignition before, unless I sprayed starting fluid in the air filter. The longer it ran, the better it got. I still have a lot to do to make it ready to run for more than a minute or two.
The dip stick tube is broken off, the coils look like half of them are missing at least one bolt and a few will likely need to be replaced, The seller told me that it had a coolant leak and the heater hoses are currently bypassed, the lights need some work, the tires are good enough to drive to the glass shop, but need to be replaced asap, ...on and on. My plan for this car is to use some of my accumulated parts to eventually make it a decent daily driver.
