SINCE I HAVE SPENT $1,569.39 TO HAVE THE CAR GONE THROUGH AND GET BACK TO RUNNING CONDITION. WE STARTED WITH A NEW FUEL TANK AND FLUSHED ALL THE FUEL LINES. THEN WE REBUILT THE ORIGINAL CARB TO RUN SMOOTHLY AND START EASILY. WE ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER AND PUT IN A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND TESTED THE ALTERNATOR. WE ALSO DID A A/C SERVICE SO THE A/C NOW BLOWS ICE COLD. IT ALSO RECEIVED NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES TO REPLACE THE ORIGINALS. FINALLY IT UNDERWENT A COMPLETE SAFETY INSPECTION CHECKING TO BE SURE ALL THE OPTIONS WORK CORRECTLY INCLUDING ALL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, INSPECT THE TIRES, INSPECT ALL SUSPENSION, ALL JOINTS, SEALS, EXHAUST, FRESH OIL AND FILTER, CHECK ALL OTHER FLUIDS ETC.
