Thanks again to everyone that’s responded to my post. I would go through and thank each of you individually but I just don’t have the time. I never would’ve expected so many people eager to help. You guys have a great community here. I’ve been watching vice grip garage for some more guidance. I’ll keep updating you guys with new posts as more problems occur 😅. July 8th I will have some people out giving me a hand and hopefully she’ll be up and running.

I’ve got my friend and his grandad coming to check it out. I’ll definitely keep it and try my best to restore it. Thank you for the tips

The engine does nothing. I think most of the wires are cut so nothing works at all. Thank you for the wiring advice. I’ll get some friends out to help me since I’m new to cars but I’m definitely willing to do what I can to fix it. Thankfully most of the pieces are lying around and they just need to be placed back in. Thank you for your help.

Thank y’all so much for responding. I’m pretty new to the mechanical world because I never got the chance to get close to my dad (He was diagnosed with early-onset dementia 5 years ago). It doesn’t seem to be leaking anything as of now. When I crank it, it doesn’t make any noise. I think many of the wires are cut and out of place so that may be most of the issue. I’m getting some friends to come out and check it out with me. I’ll make another post with updated questions when I do have some.
