    Welcome. She is pretty. Where are you from? Maybe we can find some members close to you that can assist in some way; either hands on or mechanic recommendations, etc.

    Try push starting it. Grab some friends, someone inside with the clutch I pushed in and car in first, get a decent speed going, then pop the clutch and push the clutch in again once it fires.

    Replaced the starter still wouldn't start, so I decided to by pass it. Now it idles weird when I get it running and turn it off and turn it back on. Goes up and down. Sometimes it turns off and dies right away
