Hello All

Hello everyone. My name is Justin, I live in Lufkin, Texas and I'll be inheriting an 82' from my father soon. I want to start out by saying it's not in good shape. Its been sitting dormant outside for around 15 years now. I'm trying to get it to at least run before my father passes. It's his dream car and a dream he won't get to realize but I can try and do the next best thing and get it going down the road at least. I'll be asking a ton of questions, some that may have been asked before. I'll utilize the search functions as best as I can first though!

Sell,it very complicated engine controls and only made for one year..If you have deep pockets proceed but that year can become a money pit with out some good help.
