Hi my name is Barron I am 16.
I was looking for an old car to buy (when I was 15) and fix up to drive to school. I found my first '74 Scamp for $900. We looked at it and decided to get it pretty quick. We bought it and decided to pick it up the next day. We came back (about a half hour drive) with a trailer. My dad forgot the keys and had to go back and get them and drive back in heavy traffic.
Well when we got it home we got it to start up pretty fast. Then my dad decided we should pull the engine and fully rebuild it. We got the engine out. But then I hit a speed bump, I spent all my time over the summer conditioning for water polo. Sucks for me I never finished the car.
Well then I turned 16 and needed something to drive. What did I do? Of course I got another '74 Scamp. This one running for $2800. It has horrible wiring problems. The blinkers do not work. The cabin lights don't work. The instrument panel does not work. The car does not start (just recently I drove it to school once) and it is not the starter.
So that brings it up to this point.
