    alright so i had a 1972 335 Olympic skidoo that i got for 100 dollars... then i traded it for my 87 cabby so its in term a 100 dollars cabby i was so lucky! it had the head rebuilt and a new head gasket installed but the timing was out? well i found out that the po timed it to the mark on the outside of the valve pulley ? even though he printed a guide to follow from cabby-info? lol well i timed it to the right mark on the inside of the pulley and well it started ! so next is the brakes.. theres a leak in the back pass side that im gonna be patching soon theres also some odds and ends ive been working on, ganna need to get vacuum lines so it runs smoother and carpeting and new front seats but it is a project car and theres no rust ! ill update as i go http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...56100540_n.jpg
