Post subject:  My new project dart

just a teaser pic for now. more this weekend



Image

its been sitting for a while, but no rot anywhere, is all complete and Im pretty sure it will run with some tlc. The guy drove it everywhere, and he said it started to smoke a little bit, which is why he parked it. It isnt in the dmv anymore, so im hopin itll be easy to register. When my dad gets home, we are going to rent a car dolly and bring her home. The guy wasnt home, and I was anxious. sorry about the crappy pic, its a new camera

PS guess how much I paid :P

the dart is giving us problems lol. we aired up the tires, threw her in neutral, and she didnt move. She has been sitting the better part of 15 years, and she is PLANTED where she sits. Itll be a while until I can get more pics. We have to wait until the guy can come back over. He lives in oregon, and occaionally stays here in reno, so we can only arrange times to meet. We are going to have to wait until perry (our friendly local tow truck driver) has some free time to bring the flatbed and pull the car out of the "hole". My s10 blazer wouldnt pull it :(


I got a PM from dan, and will be getting a carb from him in the near future (when unemployment decides to send me a check)

we are going to get a carb, and alternator, and see if she will run. We will do the usual drain and flush everything. If she runs, we will register her, non op her(so we have title, and only a couple hundred into her, incase any surprises pop up) and rebuild the engine.

thats if she wants to give up her spot....maybe she feels cheap since we only paid $100 bux for her HAHAHAHA



im trying to get this car as fast as I can. I just cant wait

definitely change all the fluids and filters and things like that.

i'm not sure what condition the engine is in

change hoses, water pump, take a look at the radiator

because the last thing you want is to cook the engine and have a blown head gasket.
