restoring an si?

Postby celticrsmith on Mon Dec 20, 2004 3:17 pm

hey guys, im going to restore my old si 1.6 but what should i be weary of?

its been sitting idle for the past 9months so i presume there will be corosion/rust and parts/components which will need 'lubed' up. but what?

theres still petrol, oil, brake fluid etc

any ideas/tips would be very much appreciated.

ive got a new battery for her so thats a start!!

cheers

drain the petrol and put new one in, it will be wrecked, and if it gets in the engine it will be bad

the brakes may have gone stiff

And defo need the new battery!

brakes were done about a month before it sat, so theyll still be fooked?
