Hey Club,
I bought a roller about 4 months ago (74' 1.8L). So far very minimal rust. It came with its original side shift but it looks like it has a hairline crack in the case, might have that repaired unless i pick up another cheap. It also came with 2 engines in which the PO said one was a 2L and the other 1.8L. Both are pretty haggered. I can't confirm if they are bus or teen'r engines. I'll run the #'s by you guys when i get home. Maybe some one with mechanical prowess could use something off them. I don't think i could tackle that right now. Don't think they are worth rebuilding. I am going to need the whole Drivetrain. Clutch pedal is missing all the way back to the exhaust. I want to start priming and cleaning things up while engine is out, I am on hold right now on spending too much due to a personal business startup. Any ideas on some cheap projects i can do, until the drivetrain happens. I don't know where to start, (undercoating, fuel lines, brake lines??) I will post some pics when i get home. On a side note am i the only club member in Idaho?? This car has not seen action probally since the eighties. Gas tank is missing cap and surface rust around tank opening. Just thought you guys could bombard me with some ideas, thanks in advance-- I think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Dave. |

Hi!
Get us some digital pics of the parts. We can help you out. I'm betting what you *think* is a hairline crack is actually casting flash. You can also run the numbers by us. The good 2.0 engines from 73+74 start with GA for the code. B |
