Bucky92 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Maybe those of us who may not have parts he needs can donate some $$ towards the cause...I know I would donate something. Like a Recovered Theft Fund...specially in a case like this ..it was missing for so long but hope was never given up. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobs Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You might try a high pressure washer on the paint. If using 3000 psi pressure and hot water, you can even remove factory paint if you get the nozzle too close to the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 At the moment looking for a rear windshield wiper an weber air filter clamps. Might have what you need there. I'll take a look, pretty sure about the clamps but need to dig thru a spider infested box for the wiper:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbroadus Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 SO i put new plugs wires in tonite, plugs that were in there were real bad cap wasnt even on an the plug wires themselves were way outta cinq. basically doing every thing to make it not run or barely go.

Turbone Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Curious. How did they manage to get it to where it was found in its present condition. Did they expect it to be found? Btw ,do you want the parts you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbroadus Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I dunno how it got where it was, or even where it was before. i think there were 2 parties at fault here.
