How to Restore an ABANDONED Barn Find (Parked for 28yrs)

User Feedback

Description

After 30yrs of sitting in a barn, can I get this car to start? Learn how to restore a barn find.
I was able to find a car that has sat parked since 1998 in a barn and it needed a lot of repairs in order to get it running. In this video I show you how to change the oil, how to rotate the engine by hand to make sure it isn't seized, how to fog the cylinders to lubricate them, how to replace battery cables, how to change the air filters, how to replace the fuel pump, how to replace the fuel filter and how to clean out the fuel lines plus much much more.
The car would not start after all of those repairs so I also show you how to diagnose a car that wont start so you can hopefully get it started. I show you how to check the fuel pressure, how to check for spark, and how to check the fuel injectors.
