Hello folks,

Just picked up a project for my son who is going to begin highschool in the fall.

needs a lot of work, first things first, has not operated in a decade, so we need to drain the gas and fluids before trying to crank it over.

should i squirt a little oil into the spark plug holes just in case?

if anyone can offer a check list, and send me to places to read up so i don't ask too many questions that have been covered before.

my mechanical skills are intermediate, i do all my own general maintenance on my 2004 Focus SVT, and my BMW F650GS

I look forward to this project, and we really want to/have to do it on the cheap.

what is a good source for weatherstripping and door seal kits etc.?


One thing I just cannot figure out, and have not found out yet about the design.
Why is the rear deck lid below the glass open to allow for water to flow through into the drain tubes through the trunk?
