First start in 19 years. Did the MMO treatment. New fuel pump.cleaned fuel tank.filter. Sent injectors to be rebuilt and installed them. New plugs. Long road ahead. Can’t post video. I’ll try later

If those wheel/tires are 'untouched'....well, impressive ;)
Shudder to think where the tin-worm has been on this buggy...
Best of luck tho.

>>>Rescued this 1st gen lady driven glsle,UNTOUCHED<<< WOW!! I almost don't believe you. Bet the back story on that car is fascinating.

The wheels are from my friends car borrowed to get the car home. All the tires are dry rotted. Original wheels are going back on. Rest of the car in pretty good shape for year and that it was taking cared of by previous owner.

First off, welcome aboard. Secondly, judging by the finer finish details, the PO didn't take care of that car at all. There are so many problems with broken light fixtures and paint that it's pretty clear the PO just saw it as transportation. You need to fully inspect and baseline maintenance on that quickly, or suffer the damage due to trusting that the PO handled even basic stuff - like routine oil changes.

Good luck, but verify everything as you go. It's going to need a lot of work,

Thanks for the heads up. I’m rebuilding it anyway. So a lot of new parts are gonna be replaced before being road ready.
