well my uncle in NY gave me this 84 RC about 3 weeks ago i been workin on it over the weekends so here goes.
  cool thing is i know the history of it cause my dad bought it brand new in 85 from the dealer who used it as a demo. the dealer had a front locker put in as well and its posi rear already. my dad sold it to my uncle in 92 and hes had it ever since so now i get it for FREE.



here we loaded it up and we did get it moved further up. then the pic with it fully on the trailer. we realized it was to far back so we got it moved up.


it was originally a 318 4 barrel and my uncle put a single on it.


heres the passenger side little work here.


drivers side little work there too.




Interior typical i have the door panel and the spare with cover. itll need a few trim pieces  that are broke but its not bad.

my dad put these visors on the month after he bought it in 85. i love them there definitely staying

got the front seats out so i can see what the floors look like cause being from NY they got me worried
drumroll please

passenger side is ok.

dirvers side theres a small hole. wait cant see it.

there it is.

yea he didnt last much longer it was too hott out.

oh yea buddie got it runnin sounds good with a blowed out muffler so i drove it up to the garage from the bottom of the yard
 today:

replaced the hose on the front axle cause it didnt have brakes. still dont. i put some fluid in the dry master cylinder and got fluid to front passenger wheel but now the hard line on the drivers side has a hole so thats next weeks project.

couldnt get the rear wheels of when we went to get it from my uncles so we didnt get them off today and then the ebrake adjuster fell out soooooo the shoes n pads look fine but i think ill spring for some new hardware and just replace that.

i jsut like how high it was sittin so this is what im shootin for haha like it wil ever happen this is primarely a winter truck for now.
cause an SRT4 Neon is not winter friendly.

yea i wanted to share with everyone not just us PA'ers

Cool that you know the owners that well. Decent truck for the price.  I like it anyway, there are worse starts.

To be honest, your floors might be better than mine.

Looks like an awesome truck especially for free!  You cant beat knowing where your truck came from....I have an 84 i got off CL and so far it's only given me 2 bad surprises but it's coming along nicely so dont get discouraged!

Really? That's odd. There's too many drivable things out there under $500 for me to think that's proper even if it is right.

Yes the lady is pulling your chain. You can do the "free thing" and it will cost you $5 to have it notorized, no tax needed! 

That's what I was trying to say.  Flippin' government for you! 

alright progress. 

ok i got to work on it some more. of course the wheel that was seized was the 4th wheel to be checked. it was the front wheel that doesnt have the new brake line. the drivers side has a new line. well got the bleeder out but junked it in the process. got a new bleeder in. but im a wait to fully bleed it till al the lines are done.
when i took the caliper off the passenger side the pad fell apart. so i put some other pads on it to keep it mobile.

 i went to the parts store and got a list of prices and i didnt like any of the numbers he was telling me bu oh well such is life.

yea.

hey man what you want for that rear rubber carpet. and how far does it go up. to the rear seat or rear of front seats like the actually rear carpet.

i want it if you dont.  how much

sounds like a deal. hold on to it for me . ill come down some day and grab it and bug ya for a little while.

i actually did see a rubber front in the junkyard saturday but it was junk all holed up and torn up.

can't wait to see it when it is done

yeah being able to stop is a good thing

Smart move. 

ya losing all brakes is very scary when your comin up to a busy intersection at 6 30 am and ur brake pedal goes to the floor doing 80 km. happend to me in my intrepid

that happend to me on my way to my parents house. i had my daughter in the truck. i had borrowd my parents 83 rc fro winter so i was takin back

i come up to busy intersection in Winchester VA and with 1 truck in front of my i hit the brakes and it dropped to the floor. i started pumping furiously and awas about to nail the ebrake and it stopped. then sittin there at the light it dropped to the floor again and started rollin an almost hit the truck when it stopped.
i was 4 hours in the 8 hour trip. well i got off the road and went over the whole truck n couldnt find anything and they worked the rest of the time and there still fine as far as i can tell.

that is great glad to here you are making progress

ok so installed passenger side rubber hose and made a new hardline for it as well. so the front is all new rubbers n hardlines went to roll it down the driveway and it woldnt budge goin downhill so up went the front and the calipers are sticking so ima try an clean them up an hope i dont have to replace them to at least for right now. no money till next payday

yea i need to get steves addy so i can plan out my route to your guys place in 2 weeks

WOO HOO! 

I have found it to be much easier to get calipers and usually cheaper too once you figure your time to rebuild vs just insatlling

what are you putting in it

  that sounds good

putting it in is easier because you already have everything loose as long as you remember where the wires and hoses go it is simple if I can do it anybody can
