Hi All. I’m thinking of bringing a 73 1.7 out of long term storage. It’s been in the family for quite a few years and probably has more sentimental value than the car is worth. I know rust repair work can be a slippery slope. It will need floor pans and inner longitudinals at a minimum. Probably hell hole work as well. Does anyone have any recommendations on a shop that has experience with these cars? Prefer to keep the car somewhat local. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the advice. The car has been stored at my parents place. Next time I visit I’ll take some more detailed pictures. I think my plan is to drain the fuel and see if I can get it started. I think I had an issue with an injector the last time it was started. Does anyone have a source for 1.7 injectors. I’m guessing that replacing all 4 might be a smart move.
Chris, I might take you up on giving me a prognosis on the underside. I’ll keep you posted. Much thanks. |
