Default Help with Sheila

Well I finally found a car worth busting my knuckles

But she needs a lot of work.

Before the Peanut Gallery ask did I use the search button Yes it takes too much time and I need it to work on her

anyhow thought I share as I embark on long project with the red head



This car at some point on Ohio and ended up here in SAT
I got it for a good price she ran a little rough but I think I got most of the issue worked out.

First step was to clean her up little bit will post working on getting rid of the salt issues. and preventing rust. cowl is fine and only the trunk had a small spot

any way advice on intakes and exhaust been looking for sound clips on you tube but not much.

so please post links

Thank you.

I am not feeling the wheels and I have not got to clean them yet, they are American Racing chrome with dirt from neglect

LMAO

I will most likely get rid off them, I am using them as roller not bad wheels just not my taste.
