  1. i paid 500 for one with 30K miles on it that had to be brought back to life. Big things to look for, rust and condition of the engine oil. They need frequent oil changes to keep them alive and ticking. Why the low miles?
  2. A gentleman at Carlisle gave me a box of FF1 parts. there are some gaskets (valve cover and 2 larger square ones)and some other part that is a cable of some kind (throttle? Choke?). Anyone wants them contatc me, all yours for the price of shipping.
  3. I left earlier, took the bicycle to Gettysburg. Blu got groped a lot, i had my MG lust ( so many shiney things affordable), got about 30.00 in tools and 17.00 in various wire loom stuff, and a sunburn.
  4. Blu is in his spot. I am hunting tires. Leabe a note with a phone no on him
  5. Well truth be told some animal biomass hit the preverbial fan that is my life and i needed to runaway. 6 soobys there today not the freindliest bunch.
  6. Ok folks please share details... Exactly where, time, costs. I am debating taking Blu
  7. Sounds like to me something is really busticated. My fist thgout too was "when was the accident"
  8. This is the one thing where i highly recomend they take it to a shop and get it done right the first time. I completly agree.
  9. Ok this is interesting. How many miles. That sounds more like something loose in the front end, a loose engine, first thing is get under the car with the wheels off the ground (not running) and inspect everything.
  10. Tom has disapeared off the face of the earth, and he was more south Jersey.
  11. No one seriously knows how to fill a cooling system? Lets do it properly first then go from there. As long as we are drainig it replace the T-stat and radiator cap. Park car on levle ground Start car SLOWLYfill cooling system with 50/50 premix NOT TAP when filled wait for a surge out the radiator, this will be the t-stat opening up. Continue SLOWLY filling. Once filled put cap on, fill overflow, drive around block let cool down. Check levels Repeat ONCE if needed (If more then once you have a HG issue).
  12. Tire balance wheel bearing CV joint driveshaft universal Tie rod ends. What caused you to rebuild a shaft, really should replace them considering the work involved.
  13. Some of these hyad bad AC hoses that were porus, so keep that in mind too.
  14. Last local one just closed, owner retired (he had his nerve)
  15. The Justy uses a plastic screw to install the inside review mirror, and guess what I broke. Anychance someone has a closet full of these things about
  16. Bad cap Bad Thermostat Clogged Radiator Decrepid radiator. Alt weirdness. Not good to let this be, need deeper investigation.
  17. 31K on him, can't give up on it. Car running at 80% but with an open exhaust on an 89 hard to tell if that is part of the issue. Next week DMV then muffler shop
