hey fellas need a little help got a new project a need some ideas. looks good on the outside not so good underneath. lots of hidden rust, nothing i cant deal with, seen alot worse. if you guys now some good places to get panels let me know. thanks in advance for any help also found out to day that the motor is locked up, guy i bought it from said it just needed a starter, put a new one on and it just clicks. tryed to spin it over by hand, and almost stripped the bolt on the balancer trying to turn it over by hand. any ideas on a motor looking for something to drive so it needs to be reliable, and get decent MPG.
That's a sedan not a coupe. But that's ok. Don't try and turn the engine usining the crank bolt. YOU WILL STRIP IT. You can buy a gadget that bolts to the 3 holes in your balancer that your lower pulley bolts to and use a 1/2" breaker bar to try and turn it over. Take out the plugs also so your not fighting compression. Todd
