Another ix prodject

[Jeff]

Well looking at it a bit today i have some thing to replace

Rotted fuel lines

Vacuum lines are rotting

Oil filler cap is cracked

Front driver side control arm is bent

Need a new fender

Needs new bumper and the piece below the fender with the fog lights

Drain the gas out it feels warm and smells pretty bad

Change the oil smells like gas

Needs the passenger side mirror

[B C]

the gas feels warm!?!?!?  what is that supposed to mean  

it should be a pretty fun car for some wintertime sliding

[Jeff]

Well good gas when you touch it feels cold warm feeling gas is usually old gas that is no longer good.

[Jeff]

had it running for a while today but i do need to get a clutch fan, and thermostat. i will probably end up doing te water pump and timing belt also.

[Jeff]

Waiting for some parts to come so i can get it doen the road.!

I have a spring kit for the emergency brakes, timing belt and tensioner coming wed. Or thursday.

Also a thermostat intake gaskets some other gaskets and a fan clutch when ever snap sends me it!

[Jeff]

[Jeff]
