I bought a parts car the other day for the 5-speed and pedals for my V8 project.
Anyway I drove it home, it wasn't a long trip but the engine didn't have a drop of oil (knocked like a SOB), fuel filter had a huge hole, spark plug wires were rusted beyond anything I've seen. Radiator was tornup and the fan was seized. Once home I put some oil in there and the engine stopped knocking, changed spark plug wires and it ran smooth... hell even with the rusted wires it ran smoother than my ZX2 I managed to spin the wheels a little too lol
Now I am thinking about converting it to an auto and fix it up a little (very little) for cheap and use it as a daily driver when the ZX2 is sold.
