Classic Restoration

Description of Work: Called Mike after reading review on Angie's List to look at my 1959 AMC Nash Metropolitan. I was looking for a mechanic that works primarily on classic car restorations. The car had been garaged for approximately 2.5 years because of mechanical reliability issues. Mike said he would be glad to look at the car but was completely booked up for approximately 6 weeks. He took my info and offered to call back when he had an opening. A month later he called to say he was still busy but getting close and that he hadn't forgot me. When he called again two weeks late, we made an appointment. I asked Mike to go completely through the car and evaluate for mechanical issues and give me a list. This took about three days and Mike called with a complete list of recommendations. He went through everything from top to bottom and front to back including engine tests for compression and leak down. The following repairs were performed. Rebuild all brake and clutch hydraulics.Replace radiator capChanged oil and filterRebuilt carburetorRebuilt fuel pumpRebuilt distributorChanged shocksflushed and refilled rear end and transmissiondropped fuel tank to repair filler neck gasket (leak) and repair sending unitPerformed tune up I ordered all parts myself for an additional $700.00
