dimedude Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 So this is my second project thread and my second wagon anyways yesterday me and the510keeper went and pick her up she had been sitting in a feild for 3 years or so but still looked pretty clean came with coilovers and camber plates in the front and de-arched leafs in the rear and a non-running napsz motor(needed a alternator), I got her to 510keepers place and me and atom put in a new alternator changed oil drained the 3 year old gas and got her running but not well pretty sure the carb needs to be rebuilt so then I decided to see if i could shine her up here are some pics not the best took them on my phone on the way back to keepers house after the power wash polishing the roof by hand at first after keeper gave me the electric buffer so I order my carb rebuild kit hopefully next weekend i can get it running smooth and finish polishing Quote Link to comment
