Restarting a model A after 64 years of sitting.
So I have bought a 1930 model A tudor that never has been restored and
last time ran in the 50's
The model A spend most if it's time in Paris France but since a few years she is here in Belgium. Because it is the "european" model A it has the small bore 2.2 engine.
She is all original and almost 100% complete, now the plan is not to restore the car only restore the mechanical part of it.
I went over the engine and it still has really good compression and seems to be that there is "fresh" oil in it (only checked the dip stick).
What I was planning to do was
1. Getting the gastank out and restoring it
2. New fuel line
3. Rebuilding the carb
4. New distributor, sparkplugs and wires, coil, battery
5. New alternator
6. Leakless waterpump
7. Checking carterpan for slutch
8. Checking the head
9. New oil
10. Redoing the wiring
Is there something else I mist?
This will be the first pre war and american car that I will work on, tips?
Below are a couple of pictures of the model A
