I took a lot of photos and video under the car today. This
is so I can assess what needs to be done. A few observations hit me right away:
- The condition under the car generally is quite poor in a lot of places. The front of the car is not so bad because the dog box has been off in the last 10-15 years and the engine taken out and then put back in. Things at the rear of the car are very dirty, rusty and there are obvious holes in the bottom of the body in places. Maybe a good old clean (perhaps with a water blaster or air blaster) would help or are we talking a body off clean-up.
- The fuel line is much corroded. The fuel tank looks straight forward to remove. So I think it would be a good idea to remove the fuel tank, inspect and clean, then remove and replace the fuel line all the way from the tank to the engine. I know the line is sucking air and looking at the state of the line it is certain there will be impurities getting into the fuel before it hit the carburator. That is fuel block city.
- A handbrake cable bracket is dangling
- The chassis is slightly damaged (bent) at the point on the right hand side where the exhaust pipe travels through it.
