I bought this car to go to the track with a friend... who subsequently moved to CA. His departure made me rethink the whole thing and I've decided I'd rather spend the time on a mountain bike.
What work does it need?
Nothing strictly necessary, but here is the list of things that I would do next...
- Sand and skim coat the fiberglass hood. Give it a real paint job. It looks like crap now, but you can throw it around with one hand.
- Replace valve cover gasket to resolve small leak. (A new gasket and rocker shaft plugs are included)
- Plumb the heater box, if you're into that kind of thing. It is fully restored (see earlier post) and everything but the water connection is done and working.
- Get the reverse light working.
- Install a horn.
- Dyno and refine map. The existing map works just fine, but you could probably get another 20-30HP.
- Maybe install new door seals. The current ones are pretty dry, but they've withstood plenty of Seattle rain without leaks now that the doors are sealed tight (see earlier posts).
Sure, if you make the arrangements for pickup at my house.
Want to trade me for...?
No, thanks. There are plenty of things that would tempt me, but I must be strong!
