I saved this 85 T-type from being parted out. It needs new front clip (what years of regals will fit? ), guy I got it from took the 8.5 rear (raced malibu's was going to pull engine and put a 350 in it and lost interest) and the engine has everything that would be bolted onto it taken off(it was all in the trunk and is all there). When I cleaned out the interior I found a receipt for main bearings.
My question is, Should I do a compression check, put back together and try to make it run. Or should I just pull the engine and rebuild since it's already has all the accessories off of it. I am mainly a Camaro guy but couldn't let this one get scrapped. Was trying to sell it but can't bring myself to sell it to anyone I know is just going to trash it. I have the shop space now to be able to work on it and other cars, so thinking it's time for a front clip and motivate towards making it run.
Anyone know a good machine shop in Longview, wa?
