Ok, here is a chance for all the car buffs and wrenchheads to come out of the woodwork. I've had an 89' lancer ES sitting out back since sept of '02, it's now january of '04. Insurance premiums have now dropped to the point where I can safely unhibernate my car. The terms of hibernation that this car has had to endure have not been pretty. I would hazard to say that they have been grueling. Exposed to the canadian climes for the better part of a year and a half, untarped, and generally left to fend for itself. All the fluids are basically the same way as when they were left. Put it this way, no special precautions were taken to ensure that this car survived. Now i'm gonna have to undo the damage that's been done thru neglect. It didn't have a decent burial and now it's gonna need a really soft resurection. REALLY soft. I'll tell yu thus far what I've done, plugged her in for a few hours and fired her up a couple times for thirty seconds apiece. Not a good idea, at all. I don't think I've done any serious damage to the engine/components, but knowing my luck I've royally f***ed it already. Save the flames. If you think you can tackle this one, reply by e-mail preferably, the address above is the right one. Help me get this beast on the road and off the cement pad out back.
