MRT1TRD Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So the other week thought it was a good idea to bid on this thinking I could put new points in and go... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=827790532 since no one else bid obviously no one else thought it was a good idea. Turns out there was quite abit not declared in the auction (not sold as is where is) eg major rust in both A pillars and also small amount at bottom of all doors. anyway guy claims he had spent $5000 on it but I struggled to find where. tho engine and trans has had work by some unexperienced mechanics (mixing silicone sealant & cork gaskets is a sure sign of this) and it does run quite well once i changed the points, Ballast resistor, and put some oil in the carbs I dont need this car and am willing to sell it for what i paid for it $600 now that it starts and drives but if your not quick the price will go up as i will fix it.

MRT1TRD Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 So tho I have decided this car is not worth my effort fixing it has been quite useful. Firstly used the front wheels for customers trailer that needed a new axle (could not find new 4x98 anymore) 2nd I used the rubber spring helpers from the LF spring to fix a accord that was slightly to low in the front (BMC used these to level the car due to uneven spring from factory) thirdly a nice stag came in for its wof and I sold him all the switches and controls from the column & center consul as his was in well used condition. So now that It has come to some use its off to the dump in a week unless someone wants to buy it $300 or buy some parts off it cheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
