Build story

CAN WE SAVE THIS CAR AFTER SITTING 14 YEARS - true story

I bought it the day before the previous owner was gonna strip off the chrome and send the rest to the crusher. Sitting since I was 6.

It is very much a revival car. I bought it for $1500 CDN, which in American dollars is basically free.

I made it run, then redid most of the fuel system, overhauled the ignition system with basically new everything. She is a solid runner!!

JYD and VGG, you guys gave me the confidence and knowledge to do my own revival. Thanks guys, its another one saved!!!


P.S. Shout-out to Mortske Repair! (YT, similar sort of channel)
