Hello peoples!
Been reading all the posts here on the forums, lots of good info!
Anyway, I have a 90 SC 5 speed that has been parked for roughly 6 or 7 years outdoors, was parked due to that ugly ABS monstrosity failing on me. Well it failing wasn't the problem really, since I still had brakes if I pressed on the pedal super hard, it was when the system would spontaneously start working and throw me through the windshield when I went to stand on the brakes.
I am assuming I will need to replace all the belts and hoses, since I am sure they are all dried and cracked, and depending what the rodents have done to my wiring system under the hood, I may have to replace all that as well.
Not sure yet because the car is partially buried under a snow drift.
Anyone have any other thoughts on what to do with the car before trying to fire it up, besides changing all the fluids? I plan on doing the brake conversion over to conventional and hiding that silly ABS thingie in a deep dark hole in my shed.
Thanks!
