I think the time has come to part ways with our 76 turbo carrera. We spent the whole day moving stuff around in the shop, getting it out of it's tomb , and cleaning it up real good. and taking inventory of what is there.
I forgot how beautiful this car really was, it has been a dusty pile of old car covers, and spare parts stacked on it for over 7 years.
Two weeks after buying it, my son was born, and my life changed forever.
We just checked the fluids, spun the motor by hand, the with the starter, watched oil pressure build. I then checked both fuel pumps, only the front pump runs, but sounds good. I jumpered the relay, then went back and moved the airflow plate, and sure as shat , the injectors squealed.
We are draining out the 7.5 year old gas, and going to see if we can make some smoke in a little bit.
This is sort of exciting. kind of like the video where gunnar racing lights the 917 after years of storage.
Here are some photos ....
