Here is what I see so far.

Bad :
Hell hole needs repair, Lonny's seems ok but jack post area are gone on both sides, rust by the drivers side top of the long. Rust on passenger's side sail, one engine shelf and battery tray is gone but the metal behind the tray is solid
I haven't take the rest if the rocker off yet.


good:
Both trunks are good
Interior and floors are solid and good
Doors open and close with jack and weight
Pedal area is good
Interior upholstery including dash is mint

Engine was last running on 3 cylinders
It was a tail shift converted to side.

I decided to save this one.
Looks like it is going to be my summer project.
This weekend I finally had a chance to see what's going on with this car.
Engine turns over, fuel pump is dead, fuel lines are clogged.
In the next few days I will be cleaning the tank, change the fuel lines to SS and replace the fuel pump.

Sty tuned...

I spent a few days last week repairing h ) the jack post area of the longs and all most of the arrears that needs cutting and welding.

Today, I replaced all fuel lines with stainless steel and all hoses. also replaced and moved to the front the donated fuel pump ( mepstein) by mark, thanks mark.

Fuel tank is cleaned, treated and ready to go back in (hopefully in the morning)

Paul,
That was quick work, it would have took me months to do that.

What did you do to to treat the gas tank, did you use the POR-15 treatment kit or something else?

I know this is off topic but can someone post a pic of where their hood, cowl, fender and a pillar meet. I noticed something in one of these photos different from mine.

The tank was not that bad to begin with . Only surface rust on the outside . I treated the inside with vinegar. I filled it up and let it sit for a few days.
I sanded the outside surface rust , treated with por15, them use ratel can to spray it.

My second attempt to get it started was unsuccessful again.

After changing all the fuel lines , no go.

I check for fuel and pressure.... Pass
Check vacuum lines from the plenum .......cracked- replaced
Still no go

Upon further diagnostic , I noticed that the trigger points were not connected from the ECU. One of the injectors grounds behind the engine was out of the spade. ( PO said that it was running on 3 cylinders and papers found in the car shows that he was shopping for a replacement motor) hopefully that was it..
I check the points and and there was no ground when the distributor spins ( bad point)

I corrected all of the above and replaced the points.
Since it was a bit late and I didn't wAnt to piss off the neighbors I left it as that. I didn't crank it. .... I think I have a good shot at getting it started tomorrow.

Next on my list is compression test.

I don't care if it is a 914 or a Pinto, working together on a project with my dad taught me most of what I know about cars and a lot about life. The time is well spent.

Pretty awesome work!
