Kartless....
This thing has been sitting in out garage for 10 years with a half tank of gas.
Before we started pulling crap off of it, just hooked up the batt charger (yea right, like a battery in an unheated Michigan garage is any good) and aired up the tires(gonna need new rear ones).
After cranking it and pumping the gas for a a minute, stoping to give the charger and starter a break and trying again IT RAN, on 10+year old gas. when it fired up I ran and got the camera to shoot this.
Then we rolled it out.
Dad is vacuuming cat diarrhea from the seats.
Dad running around the yard with my sister in the passenger seat.
Sorry about margin rape and crap pics, my cam was in macro mode .
Things I learned today:
-Push starting a car (I only stalled once, dad stalled multiple times and he has driven manuals before)
-driving a stick shift(sort of, I now have rolling around in first figured out)
Things I attempted to learn today, but failed:
-finding reverse! (no shift pattern sticker)
Things that need fixing:
-Trans is leaking oil cause somebody messed up the rearend, the backing plates on the brakes are gone!
-wiring is an unlabeled, unfused, fire hazard, rats nest thats been painted black. Switches and bare wiring hanging from dashboard.
-Steering gearbox needs replacement
