Well it took all F'N day but I got the possible 74 LE car home. The frozen steering problem was fixed
when I found Nine (9) sets of keys in a box full of parts, yep it was the last key I tried that got the ignition to turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Next major issue was all the wheels are frozen solid, as in, won't turn. Had to drag the car 75+ feet to clear the house so we could get to the trailer. The next trick was to get it on the trailer. I nice neighbor lets use use his 1 1/2 ton come-a-long to help pull it up on the trailer. Next task after getting home is to get it off the trailer. Stopped by Menards and bought 2 sets of wheel dollies. These work get!!!! took us 2 1/2 hours to get the car on the trailer, 20 min to get it off and in the garage. So it's here. I am amazed that we didn't pull it in half, but we did open up the door gaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are a few pics. -Garold Attached image(s) |

QUOTE Um.. why the "F" did you put the chain thru the trunk and around the rear tailight section ?? QUOTE Bend over another 12 inches and hook the chains around the SHOCKS that are worthless Um.. well lets see, I could put the chains ..nope that is rusted away, well how about......Um, nope that is rusted away too. The complete rear clip is rust................. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) QUOTE Maybe there is a little too much hype about LE cars? Yep, PARTS CAR. I just wanted to get it on the trailer and home. Since everything seems to point that this could be a LE car I guess I felt that if it could be saved then it should, but in reality not by me. I like the thought of having a LE car, but if I was going to put out the kind of $$$ to restore this car to "new" I would rather spend it on a nice 3.2 six. |
