After giving it a once over thoroughly in my garage, the following
has to be done to restore this stingray.
- The chrome was flaky, some parts need chroming.
- The Paint is very bad, needs complete repaint.
- The Body has stress cracks and some of the Fiberglass is badly
worn. Will need fiberglass repair before paint.
- The windows do not work. Need regulators.
- Needs suspension work, front and rear.
- Tires are ok. Brakes may need work. 1 caliper bad.
- Electricals DO NOT work. Needs complete dash harness rewiring
and other electrical parts.
- Engine does not start well.. Starter bad. Needs new.
- Engine seals leak. Valve cover seals gone. Needs new gaskets
for entire engine. Timing is off...
- Transmission is shot, needs a rebuild. Can't risk driving it
without fear of the transmission taking a complete dump. Transmission
Mount is Broken...
- Carburettor needs a rebuild, parts are missing. Needs new air
filter. Might be able to reuse the K&N it currently has, after
cleaning it with a K&N kit.
- Interior needs COMPLETE new carpet, and many other parts. Driver
door latch gone, needs new. Seats soaked.. Needs new upholstery.
- Steering pump leaking, needs new.
- Steering column broken, needs to be rebuilt. Has wrong steering
wheel (C4) . Need to buy (C3) one.
- Hand brake does not work. Shift console missing.
- Battery has little life left, needs new. Goes Dead.
- Vacuum system for popup headlamps dows not work properly, needs
to be repaired. very sluggish.
- Lower Radiator hose leak. Upper Hose Spliced.
- Rear driver side Tire valve bad, keeps losing air.
- Spare tire Tub Broken, will need fiberglass repair.
- Gas lid lost spring.
I'm sure stuff will keep turning up as I get into the car more.
But at first glance, this is what I see as major issues. Looks like
a year of work.
