Sooo Forum.

The car didn't really let me sleep overnight and i'm a restless dude. Today i've bleed ALL the fluids.I know the engine HAS run.but around 15 years of sitting isn't good for anything that's rubbery or in fluid state.It's not really a big job to replace all the belts and fluids,my main problem was the electrics but since mice ate the installations it wasn't hard to discover what wires to change.I called a buddy of mine,he knows shit like that.As i was working on the engine he was working on the wires...After a long time rubber becomes hard and it can snap easily.When i dismounted the radiator to bleed the coolant there was coolant goo from sitting and it wasn't fluid anymore,it stinks like goat piss Forum and it's about that yellowish too. I've cleaned the radiator with hot water and an air compressor ,replaced the hoses cause you can snap them with your bare hands,the water pump was aluminium and seemed fine.After the coolant was done it was time to bleed the oil from the engine and check the spark plugs and wires,well not really to check but to get them out and replace.Based upon the plugs the engine ran normally and it was just dirty.One of my concerns was also the cylinder liners.Since air contains moisture or water as you wish,they can get rusty and then the piston rings can't go up/down and the engine can seize,in my head i was prepared for literally anything.Swapped the camshaft belt for a camshaft chain.Now the next part was to spray some WD-40 into the cylinders and well everything that had moveable parts to soften the dirt and lubricate.The car was all original and 55k km's isnt a lot.The electric master finished in the meantime.It was time to test the lights,the dash lights work,the tail's work too but they don't light very well,maybe it's the bulbs,I connected the headlights and they work fine.Now i know it's not legal but i took her just for a test to be sure that just everything runs and the car doesnt stall or anything.A parking lot will do for that purpose.

meh...



Okay so i let it warm up and got into first,smoke eveywhere,burned oil smell and a driveshaft rattle.it's rolling but suddenly all the lights die out,it burned the light fuses.It runs okay but to be honest it would need a top end re-build and all sorts of itsy bitsy's.It's a classis but i'm not that into classic cars. I'll think about it after beer.

running but dead lights,wcyd ?!
