I picked up a car the other day to help a guy out. I was a bit surprised to see the engine under the hood. While the car isn't much to look at, it's got the Quad 4, 16 valve engine under the hood. It's a 35 year old car with 77K on the clock. The paint is terrible. It's from when the "new" paint process requiring less preparation came into use. A couple years later they realized that it really DID need all the preparation. A lot of the original paint fell off and someone did a really poor job painting it.
Right now I'm just cleaning junk from the years out of it. Fixing a few burned out bulbs and finding what all I have. The fresh fuel already has it running better. It needs a windshield and exhaust. Add in some new tires and possibly some brake work and I should have a nice driving little car.
