Fluid Technician with a hat
Here's what I got to be a parts car, that's probably not going to happen. This car is very solid, coming out of the Seattle area. The plates that came with it look to have been issued in 2001, and last registered in 2004 or 2005, it's been off the road for a long time.
Pictures from the ad.
And pictures from the seller.
I went over the car a little, lubed a door hinge that was sticking, found out the driver's window is not properly secured, found the driver's door panel in the trunk with a bunch of trim, the air cleaner and gas tank that was removed. A small gas can looks to be hooked up for moving the car around.
I did remove the fan and turned the engine over by hand, it soun freely, had some decent resistance. I was told it didn't turn over, the seller must have thought I meant with a key.
I need to find a spare ignition cylinder with keys so I can see what electrical items work and don't, but I need to fix the battery cables or get replacements.
The tail lights are mostly crap, driver's side is better than the passenger side, they have a lot of pitting and the small trim is bad. Inner driver's lens is cracked, the rest might polish up decent. Outer driver's looks pretty decent compared to the rest.
Windows need adjusting as mentioned.
It has helper springs on it, so I'll check into that.
The goal is to get it running and on the road. I'll have to get it titled, so I'm not going to focus on it a lot, I'll be focusing on the car it was supposed to help and donate body panels to, the Canadian four speed car. Good thing I have another Monaco 500 to donate those parts, sad at the same time, but this car here needs way less work to get to the same place. And it is just like the car in the advertisement that hooked me.
