I just picked up a 1974 1.8 (carb conversion). It has been parked in an unheated garage for about 3 years, and was supposedly running fine before that, although it wont' fire up now.
My plan is to get it running, drive it on nice summer weekends, and use the other 9 months of the year to fix it up. Never worked on a car before, so looking forward to joining the fun! I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how... |

Since I can't actually work on my car yet due to the never-ending winter, I've been figuring out what it needs to get it safetied.
The driver's side seatbelt webbing is frayed to about halfway across. Is there a way to replace the webbing myself? If not, what is the recommended fix? I did some forum searching already, but didn't find anything yet. I will also need new glass for the driver's side rear view mirror, and a driver's side sunvisor. Shout out to Tweet, who sent me two key blanks, so I can now open all the locks on my car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
