OK guys - totally ghetto
This is one of the cars we are starting with
I will send photos on the other which is the turbo
This car only starts with starter fluid through the intake
so old gas (probably varnish)
injectors clogged (once i can test for fuel pressure)
FuelPump if fuel pressure exisists
or possible bad AFM
this is an NA
Flat tires (could use used decent ones if anyone has them around)
dash is toast worse I have ever seen - will try fiberglass/bondo compound to resurface (great topics on RL)
carpet toast

Sad to think that both cars were once someones dream...
Glad to see a good use of them in teaching / mentoring... make sure they take pride in what they are doing... fix it right, preserve it forever....
I still need to pack up my pieces and send them out to you..I'll get em out...

I want to help out but, I'm pretty sure the parts on my car are spoken for. Is there a paypal address that I can send money too?
Lord knows you are gonna need it with all these shipping costs.

I have NOT forgotten about sending you money. I just got really busy today and all with the car. Paypal is on the way.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can possibly do. Its a wonderful thing you are doing with these kids.

These kids are lucky to have a guy like you around them. I got some pretty ritzy friends. I might pimp a few of them out to your cause and your paypal account.

You and I know it's going to take a lot of money in machining and just in gaskets
so every penny counts andcwill be used
the trophy - the payoff??
We may never know
but they will
thanks again
in times like these with everything aweful happening around us there will always be something great we can do for others
