Hello from the actual Northern CA!

Post by nate302 »

Hello again!

I think the last time I was on this forum was about 6 years ago. My name is Nathan, and I'm from Redding, CA. Originally I was working on restoring a car my father had gotten me, however it just had too much rust. He later passed his first car to me, an original 124 CS1. The car ultimately sat for 15 years, and rats had gotten to the interior. They chewed up the seats and a few wires. I have since put a lot of time and effort into the car, as you will see from the pictures.

Ultimately:
The interior needed work
The carbs were clogged and needed to be rebuilt
Several Relays were bad including the Ignition mode relay
Ignition Switch had bad contacts
Coolant System Needed a rebuild
Brakes needed an overhaul
Normal maintenance needed to be done
Rear tire was leaking because of corrosion on the rim bead
