There is the orignal thread but I thought I would start a new one this time around.
I really havnt done anything over the last year. This is mainly because I know very little about mechanics. Here is some of the main problems I have...

Carb: I believe the floats are stuck and there is probably a lot of old gas in it. I am not sure exactly what to do with it.

Starter: I need a new starter. This should be simple. I will buy another one and I think even I should be able to replace the starter.

Clutch: Something isn't right with the clutch. The pedal is stuck down. Like I said I know very little about mechanics so i'm not sure what to do about this.

Ahh, maybe I should've started with more basic info about the car. It is a 1979-1981 model. I think it is an "SA". Someone explained the model details to me a long time ago but the serial number starts with SA. It is in decent shape but does need some work. It was in good working order. My dad got a different car and didn't drive it much. We would take it maybe once a week just up the street or something to keep it in good shape. The starter went bad though and we didnt want to put any more time and money into it so it just sat. Now it has been sitting for quite a long time. Everything besides the starter was working when we parked it. Now there are several things wrong from sitting so long.

Hmm... What else. I will see if I can dig up some pictures and post them.

All I have really done so far is sand off some body rust and spraypaint over jsut to prevent further rust. So if any of you have any tips for me let me know. Thanks guys and girls. I will proabbly make a post in the local sectiosn to see if anyone is interested in helping me out.
