It can't slip away its my step moms
She said she would give it to me for free if I could aquire the money to fix it up.
Synthetic motor oil, gear oil
New rotors, pads, brake lines
New rims ( her's are aluminum but they are warped from the cold/heat after 20 years
)
New tires (re-11's), new belts, radiator flush, clutch fluid flush/refill, new custom exhaust, sea foam before putting in synthetic...will obviously drain the fluids then replace them all before I do this. Will tow it from Michigan to Virginia.
So much money LOL...needs new paint too, gonna gut out the car too...A/C etc..
Such a long timeless project haha
But yea to the OP if its been sitting less than 10 years I say go for it, get a manual transmission and call it a day.
My car has been sitting 20 years! And I am still going to rejuv it
Good luck
