Picked up this 1.8 1975 l-jet
That has sat in storage for at least 10 years. Was used as an ax car, and was stripped down to start restoration and at that point quit. Had a good structure- I'd say good bones. Jack points and longs are good condition. One spot that needs some fix but the goal here is to just see if it will run first. If I can get it running , i will take everything interior wise off the copper 75 I have, transfer it over to have a nice driver while the copper car gets the long and Jack point repair etc done over the next year. I will need wiring advice for sure!! Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Aug 29 2015, 05:27 PM)  Nice to get a chassis in good shape to transfer stuff into. Yes, it is. I've been looking for a long time. Saw this up in Columbia SC 2 hours away. Bill H picked it up, and decided to cull the herd, passed it on to me. Nice to only driveb90 miles to find one!! And on the east coast too! On good structural shape, no body flex. Battery was relocated to trunk at some point when the p.o. repaired that side of hell hole. Over all way better shape than my other car was when I bought it. Also has rear sport koni adjustible shocks and front as well with really nice aftermarket sway bar. Brakes appear to work good, which is amazing. So I can get it running then I can sort other stuff out as I go. If the motor has any major issues I will just pull my 2.0 from the other car and do a transplant!! Other car is d-jet the I have fully sorted and transmission was rebuilt already and triad exhaust etc. This car needs new h.e. and exhaust so to be cheap that may be the way I go for now. |
