Pooparu Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Man, I just through some starting fluid in and this thing fired right up and purred like a kitten. So I put some air in the tires and took it for a spin around the block. I found a couple of things wrong with it. No 3rd gear & oh ya NO BRAKES!!! I flew right through a stop sign (luckily there were no cars coming). So I continued my journey using the e-brake. The thing ran so good though.

Kostamojen Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Probably a bad master cylinder, seems to be the usual suspect for these early scoobs. Thank god for the front E-brake though... 3rd gear is going to be a problem. Is it a 4 or 5 speed? I have a spare seat of gears sitting in my shed if its a 4-speed.

I was so excited to just have the thing moving I didn't think about stopping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm still gathering parts for the coupe. Stay tuned...this one will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 maybe you will get lucky and find that 3rd gear....is it all sloppy finding other gears too, normal bushing mia problem? it might still be there, you just gotta search for it. Yeah i know you are aware of this, i had to just throw it out. If it is a 5speed, without 3rd gear, it is now a redneck 4 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Try to get the seats moving soon , trust me....... way busy and body beaten up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not a problem. Take your time (not too long). I'm just stock piling all of the parts not for the restoration next summer. This is going to be my best project yet. All though I keep getting a ton of people who want to buy this coupe from me as is. I just can't give it up. I'm in love. Try to get the seats moving soon , trust me....... way busy and body beaten up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I just got a ton of parts, but I need more. I'll shoot a photo of what I got. I'm changing the grill out to a stage one 4WD grill and hood and swapping out the gauge cluster too. I can't wait to get those seats from moosens:grin: I'm hoping to have this thing put together by next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
