then the trans "died" and would only go in reverse and neutral and the supply fuel line started leaking so it sat in my garage for 2 years

this is how it looked about a month ago and i decided to start working on it bought a parts van for cheap as i thought it had a A670 but was another A604 so i will roll with it as it only had 10,000 miles on the rebuild the van it's self had 89,000

was not hard getting it running again replaced the rubber fuel lines with AN fuel fittings

and after 2 years it started right up

i then removed the inoperative A/C system form the car as the compressor was seized and with the unknown shape of the condenser and evaporator did not want to mess with it

i also started on fuel line version 2.0 as the AN line was kinking on the supply side
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt161/01gpgt/100_2298.jpg
the long term plan is to turbo. started getting parts like .040 pistons for the Van engine and started tairing the van engine down this way i can still drive the car wile i build up the van engine. i can also convert the car to megasquirt using a stock engine as i also plan on converting the ignition system to a DIS
