I just bought the car from Merry Motors. I want to bring this beautiful car back to life. Would anyone like to help me?
Congratulation on your purchase, the car deserve a second chance to live!
Congratulations! Hopefully you can find someone local to give you a hand. Virtually speaking though, this forum has many knowledgeable and helpful people to help you with your questions. These people were a great help when I was restoring my car.
One critical piece of advice up front: You have an "early" VIN (like mine), and there are some differences. I see it is a manual, so before you drive it, I advise you to check the gearbox for a loose shaft nut. More information about this HERE.
Best of luck with the resurrection!
Cool!! It's nice to think of 1014 not rotting away outside anymore! Hopefully Steve came down from his asking price from when I visited earlier this year. Good luck and keep us posted...
Congrats on your purchase! This car is a great canidate for restoration to driver status! In 2014 I restored 5052 to reliable driver status after sitting for 23 years. With the benefit of a carb conversion, 5052 was back on the road in about a month for less than $2500 in parts. It can be done :-)
If i was closer I would gladly give you a hand bringing this one back to life.
Congrats again!
