typh183 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Picked up an ep82 that's been stood since 2010 in a barn, I've done a compression test and it's 165psi across all four cylinders. Going to start on getting the car running this weekend. I'm changing the oil, oil filter, spark plugs, and all belts but is there anything else which I should change? Engine bay does seem a little rusty in places but il tidy it all up once I've got it up and running. Brakes are pretty much none existent, the pedal just goes to the floor. But I'm changing all four discs and rear bearings with new pads and Hel 6 peice lines once the car is running, is there anything else that would need replacing on the braking system? Any help much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Get the plastics off down the side of the car for an inspection before you spend too long on the mechanics of the thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
