- Background
- The car was bought by a guy near me (ill call him John) in 2001 totalled from the united states. He fully restored the car he blew a coolant line and caused the engine to need a rebuild. The guy who rebuilt it forgot to but oil in the transmission. John ported and polished the heads swapped the intake and did all the other mods ive listed. He then sold it in 2008 due to the transmission issue to a guy ill call ron. ron let it sit in a field for 12 years amd then sold it to a guy named joe a couple hours from me who didn’t do much to it installed a clutch and fixed a couple issues did some maintenance. Joe posted an add an add on. Market place 4000$ cad need liquid cash come and take it first come first serve the. I messaged him after the add had been up for about 6 hours he said he had 4 people coming too look at it tomorrow so i went to bed next morning i get a text saying everyone else backed out so i called my friend and organized a last minute road trip to go check it out 4 ish hours later we were there after looking at it and going for a ride in it i was in love i gave him the 4000 and we drove it 2 hrs and the slave cylinder went so i had to get a 500$ tow. Im 19 years old and am very excited to learn and build these cars my goal for the car is to make it run like a top and be a fun street car.
