Well hello from the future! :D
Car was unused for about 8 years give or take.
What do you suggest doing before starting it up after so long?

[me109]

Is there gas in it?

[GrEg]

Yes there was , is there a drain plug?

[me109]

Maybe. I'm not sure about the MX-3. I'd get that gas out of there, and check the basics like oil and filters. Maybe spark plugs and distributor cap too.

[GrEg]

Will do! does it make sense to prime the engine without the pump fuse and with spark plugs pulled just to build up oil pressure before starting the engine ?

[me109]

Couldn't hurt, right? Or just pour a little oil in the combustion chambers while you have the plugs out...

[FE3-323]

definitely prime the engine a bit. I would pull the plugs before doing so that way you aren't actually fighting compression while trying to build oil pressure

[GrEg]

Thank you! Will do !!

[GrEg]

Car started fine! Now it just needs a lot of parts :D
Thank you for all the info :D

I'm a newbie, have been looking through the posts since the beginning, of course the first photos with the red leather seats looked very extravagant.
