Ok here we go… I am teaching an automotive technology program in a high school in northern mn. Auto is not my strongest subject and I probably have the least experience in it when compared to construction or manufacturing. We will be doing other stuff in the auto shop too, not just the Scout project. Just dropped it off at work today.
What I know it needs:
1.floor pans have been fixed before but need to be redone
2. Rockers need to be replaced
3. The whole back “box floor “ needs to be replaced including the wheel wells
4.upper back hatch is shot “but has good glass”
5. I want to mount the gas tank under the truck so I can use the back space
first things first. Got the post from old iron and am going to do the oil pump test and get some fluid moving then try to start it. To make sure it runs and drives. All I know is it has been setting for 4 years but it ran and drove when it was parked. I am not planning on making a show car out of it but want to be able to use it
it is a 1970 Scout 800 with the 304 v8 4x4
