The Co-op: (UPDATED) I’m falling back on fimilar repitition to keep my sanity………

We have so many good things spinning around in the air focus is our salvation.

The lift now is doing its thing, from 8am to 7pm we have someone…may be 2 hammering on all the undercarriage work we have piles up.noye the stack of steel, rusty leaker fuel tanks we’ve yanked! If your coach is in here for this work know its at hand.

Yesterday, I ghosted out talking about doing a mechanical evaluation on a land locked core to see what we had.  This is a $5000 for sale coach, lets see what we have……let me finish the looker:

So emptying the stuff out of the interior to a little time to get open water to the motorYout find this many times in a coach where the owner had gathered parts or pulled some stuff apart intending to but lost the “round tuit” to go further.  Cleaned out Heck, I’d sleep in it If there wasn’t anything else!.looks like they figured out a Holley doesn’t seem to work well on a 403and was in the middle of reinstalling a looks to be rebuilt Q-jet when they stopped.The owner was trying on the dash, take a minute and eyeball all his “mods”

(UPDATES)

Sorry guys, the harder I try the more pulls me away from plunking stuff here.  Compression showed a new motor (145-150psi except for #6 , my guess is a stuck valve….the motor looks too good for something worse but hey, that’s why its a core!  The front suspension and steering was all good…..little work there.The air bags will not hold air and the 16.5″ tires are all just staying up, they’re no good.  .but the 1 aluminum T skirt took a little time so the coach wasn’t neglected….completely.   The coach has been sitting with us 5-6 years waiting for its new forever home……. Maybe you want to take on a project with good bones…….$5000.

I’ll try and bang this out earlier tomorrow, see ya then
