Finally under its own power
« on: April 27, 2025, 08:30:09 PM »
This car hasn't been on the road for 30 years but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I started a another thread here that has pictures if anyone interested. It has a few gremlins to work out so I will be back to asking some questions.

Nice videos - my 1st thought was that definitely can’t be a stock engine  :-D

Back on the road is an important step.  Working out the issues can be fun as you find the problem and fix it.  Looks good.
