Deep breath... Let the fun begin #1051 has a new owner
Last weekend I bought #1051. I was told that it has not been driven since it encountered a clutch issue in 2006. Prior to that it ran fine. I am wanting to properly take it out of hibernation. Has anybody documented the preferred steps? When I bought the car a previous owner painted it. That as you know can be a double edged sword. It appears that the driver side fender is not too bad and is repairable. From what I have stripped it appears that it might have been in a mild hail storm. The great news is that when the paint was applied between April of 1981 and July 11th of 1986 which is when the title is dated the stainless was not etched properly so the primer didn't stick and the paint flakes off.
What I am looking for are the detailed steps to properly get the engine running. I have read a few online but have not yet found a comprehensive guide that I can use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. That way I can alternate from a day stripping and then a day waking it up. It appears mine is completely stock complete with stainless exhaust.
