If we lived closer we could have a few beers an swap horror stories. Mine was free. It sat in the driveway for two years without running, had no brakes, so I towed it to a local garage. The master cylinder was dead, brake fluid in the vacuum servo, the rear brake calipers were frozen open, needed new battery and plugs/wires/cap/rotor. Mechanic started it and the car smoked like crazy until he disconnected the vacuum line from the servo. It was sucking brake fluid into the manifold!
It's here in my garage now, it "runs" and stops(no booster), I replaced the seats from a 240 (lots of duct tape), replaced burned out bulbs, new exhaust/intake manifold gasket, heat shield repaired, new rear shocks, and just took out the instrument cluster because the turn signal lights didn't work on the dash.
I still need to put on front shocks, oil pan gasket, main front seal for the tranny, new tranny pan gasket, stop the diff leak, replace the steering gaskets, and replace the rear seat. Oh, only one side of the Ebrake works.
Just fun stuff. I should be done next year, unless I want to repaint it.
Take your time, and email me with any questions you don't want to post on the board.
