This is a true barn find. It was parked and hadnt moved since 1983 and it only has TWELVE HUNDRED miles on it. It has a stock ford engine in it, and i beleive it is a 1.8L this is what it looked like after not being touched for 20 years.
this is how the car had been stored for so long. of course, it was covered, but stil, look at all that dirt! it took a pressure washer to get it all off.
here it is when we first moved it outside. the engine cover was removed in order to check out the engine and other various components. the entire car was rust free. as you can see, this car is the true Bumblebee. it weights about 1200 lbs and has about 120 hp. 0-60 is that of a viper, and it coners like no other.
heres a dash shot of when it was still in the garage
here it is when we first got it home
First thing we did when we got the cars home was pressure wash them. then, that weekend, we pulled the engine on the lotus and got the clutch unstuck from the pressure plate. now it works fine. bled the brakes and the clutchline, now it just needs new tires and we are set
here are some more pictures i took.
