Wondering if anyone knows of a decent and affordable mechanic in the Seattle area?
I got my dad's '72 1.7 finally and it needs quite a bit of work. I'm doing some work on the electrical right now (has some melted wires in the dash) and then gonna replace some of the old fuel and vacuum line myself. Hoping to get it fired up after that, but there's a bunch of stuff that I won't be able to do myself.
The hell hole looks like hell, has a 3-4 inch hole that looks like it needs to get patched up. The hole is developing right around where a smaller wire comes off the main battery lead and goes through the bottom.. I also wanted to replace the plastic fuel tubes with stainless ones. The suspension and brakes also need attention. The car was sitting for about 12 years since it was last running so I kind of just want someone who knows what to look for to check it over.. I'd like to find a mechanic with their own garage where I could help out with some of the parts cleaning/painting/prep work. Any leads?
