Hi all!
I have great news... I am the proud new owner of a 1971 MkIII GT6, all
original but in several pieces! It has been sitting in a garage since 1997
with the engine out and the dashboard, wiring loom, seats, carpet, bonnet,
windshield and liftback all removed. I am taking the motor apart to lubricate
it before getting it started out of the car and the car is going elsewhere to
have a small bit of rust fixed at the back and to be reassembled! then the
motor goes back in and it's ready for a respray - woo hoo! BUT... because it
has been sitting for a while (it was in everyday use till taken off the road
for rust and suspension in 1997) what are the likely problems with the engine,
what other things should I check? and if first gear is a little clunky but the
rest are fine, what is that likely to be?
