Welcome

8 weeks waiting time

I think Jeff or someone else mentioned that few years ago one 6 went to Finland. I like to know to whom and what kind of car that was?

Can somebody help me in this matter.

That's not a project!

Posted by: Jeffs9146 Dec 16 2010, 04:23 PM

it only has a 1.8L so it is still a project!!

It also needs the brakes gone through, engine started and a windshield!

Other than that I could probably just drive it!!

Jeff,
Put a windshield in, check the brakes and drive it till your ready to change the motor.

Glad you found a clean new project car. Like the brown interior.

Lennie and I tried to start the motor tonight and it looks like the 1.8 has some kind of issue. So it looks like maybe it will be converted to a 6 unless I can find a running 2.0 in the next few weeks or we find something basic to fix when we pull it!

You move fast. Looks like quite easy project, have fun! 3,0 in that chassi must be fun

Posted by: DanT Dec 17 2010, 12:17 AM

Jeff,
saw that ad on Craigslist today...guess the seller has not taken it off yet?

Looks like a good candidate for a project...5 years in storage, minimal rust..
nice starting point
I am really enjoying my '75 project (now basically complete and running )

WOW it made it all the way to Finland!

Here it is being picked up at Customs!

It was stored out in customs for a week. -20 deg Celsius all the time, steering lock was frozen, it was not moving easily to trailer! But now its in varm garage

Oh boy, lots of work.....

Posted by: JmuRiz Feb 22 2011, 12:07 PM

Best of luck, glad it made it over...shame about the cold temperatures.

"... it's like selling oil coolers to Finns who drive their 914-6's in the winter..."

Posted by: OmaPossu Feb 22 2011, 01:33 PM

...yes, its easier to sell sand to Sahara than oil coolers to Finland

Half of interior is now ripped off and found nothing serious yet!
