My plan all along was to swap the sub frames/struts/brakes etc. In the context of a restoration I don't think that should be too much extra work. It sounds like the hardest part then is really swapping the wiring harnesses?
As a raw shell it doesn't sound like anything I didn't know, so I actually feel a bit better. I'll do some research on swapping wiring harnesses.
Hi Everyone,
I have another newbie question. I am finally going to start restoring my 72tii and I am in the process of buying a donor car. I've located a 1602 and I want to use the shell then replace all the suspension/mechanicals/interior. Is there anything to watch out for and any major differences? I know the TII has brackets to hold in the air can. Anything else I should be made aware of before I make a horrible mistake.
Is it worth anything? This has the k-jet system.
I am in talks with someone local who has a 5 speed and they're trying to throw in the engine. I am not sure I would have a use for it. The k-jet FI won't convert up to megasquirt right?
Also, what is a reasonable price for a 5 speed that apparently only has 88000km (55000 miles)?
Thanks
Just an update. I think this has everything to do with bad gas and ethanol (e10) gas. Putting in a high quality premium fuel seems to have remedied the situation. Any regular grade gas seems to contain ethanol so I've moved up to an all premium schedule.
Kris - Can't wait to see your progress on this. Also, I finally got my car out of storage last weekend. Did you still need to test your cold start PCB?
