Oldskool 6,644 #1 Posted April 11, 2023 This just got air lifted, well lowered, into my yard. Traded my basket case Panzer T205 for it. I'm thinking I made out ok. @ebinmaine I can now join the C series crew lol. The trans is free and shifts fine. The engine turns by hand,no carb. The clutch spins,attach o magic pulley is froze. Tierods are rusted away. Just a quick chance over. 8 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like maybe there was a partial repaint in the distant past too. Wheels. Pedals. Shift cover. All different colors from stock. That headlamp lense looks decent. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #23 Posted April 11, 2023 At some point I may have to get inside that transmission. What is the best way to free up the cross pin? Drill a small hole on the case seam and use penetrant? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
