Here it is, -5F and clear skies, which is 15 degrees warmer than it was at day break. My trusting mechanic got my 164E running and then turned it off. The manifold pressure was blowing oil out of the oil cap. Needs new rings. The fuel injectors need a little work because of the amount of black smoke coming out of the exhaust, the rear brake calipers are frozen and the parking brake could use new parts, there is a little antifreeze on the outside of the water pump, there are wires in the engine bay that do not connect to anything, a chipmunk or squirrel stashed acorns in the engine bay, the front seats need new leather and at least one heater grid for the pass (the wire was cut). The electrical system has yet to be checked out, I was going to do that when I got the car home. The spare tire tread spells SPARE TIRE.
I am hardly rich, am not a engine mechanic, it's too cold to work in my garage until May, and I can't leave the car in the shop until then. What to do? There is NO rust anywhere on this car. It needs a good cleaning and polishing to make the Aztec copper shine again. There are no dents. The car hasn't run for 2 years. If I tow it home, then I can't even get it into my garage without the help of a couple of Gorillas - the driveway slopes pretty good.
Any ideas?
