First off it needs a turbo for sure. The seals are out. Which year of turbo has the best spool up? I may just put new seals in the one thats on there but if one of you guys have one lying around let me know and pm me with details.
The car hasn't been started or driven for over 3 years and hasn't been plated since 01. THIS CAR IS SOLID! Needs a few things here and there but absolutelty no cutting or welded needs on this baby. Trunk looks cleaner than the one in my grand am. Even has the orginal spare and wheels. It could use a hood, bumper, different driver's fender and turbo badge but nothing my dad can't live with. It does need fillers and driver's seat recovered.
Beings this car has sat for so long, would it be ok to unhook the distributor adn crank it a little before we try to fire it up? Anything specific on the 78s I should look for that are problematic? I don't want my dad buying this car and have hidden surprises down the road. I'd like to get my dad into a turbo car, even if it is a huge silver anchor, but I don't want him to end up with a bad experience with his first one either.
BTW, are these cars worth anything? He may do some work to it if they are because we are getting it cheap enough. THanks for the before black knowledge
