1988 Convertible - bringing back to life - an unstore story.
Hola,
Just got a 1988 Convertible, black top on fading black paint with worn gray interior.
Got it from a couple whose son left it as a project when he went away to school. I'm not exactly sure why or how it was left to where it's non-running, but they report it has not run in 3 years. The battery is dead, so haven't turned it over, but that's probably a good thing until some steps are taken to get it ready. Technically I bought this car as-is and not running. This is my story of the unstore.
For the record, I am appreciative of the Improperly Stored part of the unstore.htm (http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/unstore.htm) and that's my plan of action. I've heard recommendations to put automatic transmission fluid in the cylinders overnight for restoring the seals. Any word on that?
I have some time to get it going; they've given me a couple weeks to get everything together. So hopefully it leaves there under its own power. Speaking of power, it's N/A, 5-speed with the .
I'm sure it will be nice to meet you all over the course of this unstore and my ownership of this car. Have a good evening!
