Alright so im going to pick up an EA71 1979 1600 GL Wagon 4WD around monday for $125, good condition with no rust (been in Texas its whole life) why so cheap? the mechanic is tired of seeing it back there abandoned since 1999 and wants it gone and his money back from the labor over 15years ago (hence the $125 or he would just give it to me for free) (mechanics lean title transfer blah blah blah) now i've never experienced an engine thats been sitting for so long and then start it up for the first time, what should i do first before i damage something internally? my other cars that were sitting for 2-4years i just cranked on it, adjusted and replaced things that it needed.. right now what i know is the distributor, well somethings wrong with it says the mechanic, don't know what since i haven't cranked on it, and the other thing is it has a stuck rear (drum) brake from sitting so long. how do i get it unstuck? i have to load it on a trailer and bring it back home on its long journey. thanks for any help!
