Well i've finally done it after years of procrastinating i decided to buy a resto project on a whim - 69 lowlight with a hightop roof (i have a dream of one day kitting it up as a fresh juice van so the high roof is very handy). Pics to follow.
Its been sitting for a long time but it looks all complete, the engine turns but doesnt start, there is a lot of work to be done but apart from surface rust on the outer panels the steps and doors seem good and the interior is not too bad. Its a German one and the number on the plate is 219191090, it was being sold as a '69 does this sound right? Its in its original light blue (albeit pretty weathered now)
As a novice its hard to know where to start, so i guess thats my first question.. bar getting a battery, what should I do before attempting to get her to fire, I dont want to damage the engine - we think its a 1600... steep learning curve ahead I think!
I've figured start with replace the sparkplugs, drain any old oil & fuel..?
