So I picked up another Barn Find, less than 90K miles, four flat tires, not running, however rust free, carrying 90% of it's original paint. Passenger fender had been replaced (OEM Mazda unit) back in March of 1998 at 24,088 miles after a minor front end collision.
I'll attempt to document items I replace as I get the car ready for the road:
So far:
Yesterdays work:
New Battery
New Tires
New Plugs
New Wires
Todays planned work
Fluid Flush to include:
Brake/clutch/coolant/rear differential
Items to still be checked:
Coolant leak (undetermined at this time)
Brakes
Suspension bits and pieces
Minor crease in right rear quarter panel, will be taking around to a body shop or two for estimates. Will be interesting to be on the other side of the equation in an area with no real connections.
Car currently airing out in the sun with top and windows down after it's 9+ year slumber.
No pictures at the moment as I still have yet to acquire secure internet access in my current location.
