Update: changed the oil, oil filter and put a battery in it, on acc everything works interior lights, radio etc.. but when I go to start it the volt meter drops to nothing and it shorts it. After trying to start it the acc don't work unless I unplug and re plug the battery then it restarts the cycle. Engine is free, I'm going to start checking grounds and clean them... any advice/help is gladly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

This car has been in the family for about 10 years now and it's been sitting in the yard since 2007. I finally got around to working on it. Pulled it into the shop a couple days ago to find that it's extremely solid. More updates to come!!!. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
