LeviGideon Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 So, a week or so ago I saw that pumpkin dave had his 510 goon up for sale at closeout prices. I called my brother up, wired the cash, and a day later this poor guy was sitting in my brother's driveway needing love, and the Pumkin was back in the rightful hands of it's creator. Big thanks to Pumkn210, Eagle_Adam and Redbanner for helping Zach (ftlallday) to get this for me. Zach headed up to the 'Couve to pick up the Pumkin from Eagle_Adam and Redbanner as an offering to the dave. Then it was off to Seattle or wherever to make the trade. A few hours later and she was home and happy. Oics now. Supreme dash So, l16, 4 speed, paint code 814 (Mexican Red) and running as soon as I get back to Oregon in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 IIRC there was just an issue with the spark. Probably a very easy fix, nice score man! Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Nice ride! Saw it on Craigslist for a while them saw that you picked it up on facebook. Awesome goon :) 1 Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 IIRC there was just an issue with the spark. Probably a very easy fix, nice score man! Thanks! Yeah, but there was also a bunch of mud in the carb, I guess. haha I've got a weber and adapter that I'll throw on and have it running in no time. Already got a coil and dizzy. Working on getting brake parts gathered up then she'll be ripe for Canby. Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 serious lack of updates here..... 1 Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I know, right. I never feel like posting updates unless there are oics to accompany them. Anyways, Got it running for a minute yesterday with the muddy old carburetor. Gotta get some studs that work with my weber adapter so I can throw that puppy on there. Once I get the fuel issues straightened out, I've just gotta get a brake master and some tires and it will be road worthy. WOOOOT. We went and picked up some legit 69 fenders and a hood for the 69 4dr Tuesday evening from Draker. Got some metal hatch vents for the goon as well. It's gonna be a good week. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 31 days till canby. hop it it man Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 It will be there. it must. I'd be working on it now if my brother's landlord wasn't working on something in the garage. Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 31 days till canby. hop it it man How's this for hoppin on it? Gonna try and get the brakes working tonight, maybe the clutch. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hell yeah man! Good work Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So, I've got the brakes working, the clutch working, the car starting, and some of the lights working... But now I've gotta figure out how to fix all the door latches. Only the passenger door latches, and the driver door latch doesn't even get close to working. But the hatch latch works now! :w00t: Quote Link to comment

Abe Froman Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 So, l16, 4 speed, paint code 814 (Mexican Red) and running as soon as I get back to Oregon in a few weeks. I believe 814 is actaully called Spanish Red. Quote Link to comment
