Dattokai Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I can't wait to see this at local meets.. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 WTF... this is your first car? SCORE!!!!!!! Just promise us and your father you will take care of it. It's not a Honda, if you wreck it its much much harder to replace. Good luck man, I can't wait to see what you will do with this. 2 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 The one piece of advice i give to you....DONT EVER SELL IT! No matter how much more nice driving that honda every day is, you'll regret selling this Quote Link to comment
Marsh510 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah I would to take this to the local meets, and of course, I would never sell this! It's my first car! I absolutely love it! I will never danger my baby in any way possible! I'm just looking for local people who can give me a hand out, or some advice would help. :D Quote Link to comment

Marsh510 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I believe I just need a new battery, but the tricky thing is, I don't know how to tune the carbs. And no banzai, I kind of wish it was on that show. Quote Link to comment

jesus620 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Barn find...in your own backyard! Awesome. Nice car, looks like somebody gave it some love not too long ago. What's under the hood? You might not need to worry about tuning the carbs right away...throw a battery in there and see what happens. Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 ^^^ This is the most handy piece of advice you will ever learn. Don't spend money on a car until you know what the problem is. It's really easy to think you know the issue and it's something else. Quote Link to comment
