June 11, 201114 yr Poop, there are shops that can repair the lip too. Not as expensive as you might thing either.
June 11, 201114 yr What brand or paint number is that gold? I am trying to find the right gold color. Looks good!
June 13, 201114 yr I second that! Amazing job on the wheels! How did you get them to polish up so good?
June 25, 201114 yr Author Man, I just through some starting fluid in and this thing fired right up and purred like a kitten. So I put some air in the tires and took it for a spin around the block. I found a couple of things wrong with it. No 3rd gear & oh ya NO BRAKES!!! I flew right through a stop sign (luckily there were no cars coming). So I continued my journey using the e-brake. The thing ran so good though.
June 25, 201114 yr Probably a bad master cylinder, seems to be the usual suspect for these early scoobs. Thank god for the front E-brake though... 3rd gear is going to be a problem. Is it a 4 or 5 speed? I have a spare seat of gears sitting in my shed if its a 4-speed.

June 26, 201114 yr Lol. Brakes are usually one of thoes things you wanna check before you start rolling!
June 26, 201114 yr Author Lol. Brakes are usually one of thoes things you wanna check before you start rolling! Ya, I know. I just completely spaced it. I was so excited to just have the thing moving I didn't think about stopping it.
July 20, 201114 yr Author I'm still gathering parts for the coupe. Stay tuned...this one will be good.
July 20, 201114 yr maybe you will get lucky and find that 3rd gear....is it all sloppy finding other gears too, normal bushing mia problem? it might still be there, you just gotta search for it. Yeah i know you are aware of this, i had to just throw it out. If it is a 5speed, without 3rd gear, it is now a redneck 4 speed.
August 8, 201114 yr That thing is pretty nice for how old it is. Cool lookin car. Haha our Subarus have the same tires
August 10, 201114 yr Sweet find. Enjoy her. I love those Enkei wheels i had a set on a BMW 2002 in the early 80's. Came across this website the other day, and it sure sounds like just the stuff to keep em shiney.

August 11, 201114 yr Author Not a problem. Take your time (not too long). I'm just stock piling all of the parts not for the restoration next summer. This is going to be my best project yet. All though I keep getting a ton of people who want to buy this coupe from me as is. I just can't give it up. I'm in love. Try to get the seats moving soon , trust me....... way busy and body beaten up right now.
September 22, 201114 yr Author I just got a ton of parts, but I need more. I'll shoot a photo of what I got. I'm changing the grill out to a stage one 4WD grill and hood and swapping out the gauge cluster too. I can't wait to get those seats from moosens:grin: I'm hoping to have this thing put together by next summer.
