Bought this heep of neglected garbage from a guy in VT who was only the second owner. Amazing that in 200k miles, you can neglect a car so badly.
A very helpful member, PeterV, helped me pick it and bring it home.
The previous owner was a real catch. The steering rack started leaking from both ends so he kept driving til the pump locked up and threw the belt. This killed the battery and any hope of saving the pump.
Car is loaded with rare features like a fuel filter that was shipped with the car originally:
As well as very green coolant, a dirty rotten interior, ten pounds of mud (actual measurement) behind the inner fender well but luckily no severe rot, broken hood pull, missing grill, very badly worn tires and other atrocities I will find!
The plan: make it look like not a piece of garbage and put some OEM+ add ons.
Tonight I Replaced the rack. Not a very hard job but a very fiddley job.
Stay tuned for not a lot of updates.
