nacitar Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just bought this car on Saturday and got it back home. Replenishing funds now so I can begin working on it. If anyone has any guidance on what I should be doing, let me know. I'm a little low on vehicular knowledge at present, but am actively learning with this project. Things I know I need to research: - Dash swaps (not interested in the cap it has) or refurbishing. Interested in other car dashes if they can be coerced to go in. - "New" panels/doors, fiberglass or otherwise. If a reproduction part exists for any body panel, I'm interested in knowing about it. - General information with regard to tackling rust issues. But anyhow, check it out. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3997924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Oh my what a story. I would be a little concerned on your rust issues. Either there is a lot of rust hidden or they did a bad job prepping it. Do you know how long it has been since it has been painted? You might have rust in your tank too. I would change the fuel filter and install an inline fuel gauge so u can actually see what the pressure is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would change the fuel filter and install an inline fuel gauge so u can actually see what the pressure is. It was painted before the prior owner purchased it ~5 years prior. That's all the information I could get out of the guy about that. I plan on, once I fix whatever's wrong with the existing engine/fuel line/(we'll see), stripping the car down to bare metal so I can get the body right. Is there a particular rust issue that you're concerned about, or just in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just in general. The spotty ness is everywhere. Did the car come from FL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
