I'm sure we could flip it but... mind you.. I'm not being smug.. the 2-3k I'd make on it isn't going to change anything.. my son likes it so its here to stay..
there is a small oil leak though.. seems to be cooler lines...grrrr

 

SaabViggen- I'm so sorry about this. It happens though. Just put a "For Sale" sign on it, and- hope for the best! I mean, who spends $1,200.00 on a car, buys a few things, and, then gets it to run- and, run well for all of that?

SWEET! Good on Ya, Mate! Awesome. Your kid must be pumped about it. (You too- quite a $$ savings already!)

Rust, and, dented sill- bummer, but- overall- a much better deal than you thought to begin with!

I LOVE stories like this, they re-affirm my faith in the car gods!

Congratulations, and, I hope it remains a low cost, fun, project car for you & your son!

Dave

 

​​​​​​I've had about exactly the same luck got mine for 800 and it runs. I went by the post about deflooding and it fired up and still running so I went and bought another one. Second one needs a rebuild
