The best way to identify worn out parts is to try and start it. First you'll need a glow igniter and some fuel- does your dad still have these?So I've spoken with my brother, and I've decided Ill buy him some of the more expensive things for Christmas (I'm working, hes still in school), and then he can buy the smaller items and the consumables.
As for an overhaul, my dad actually got it running some time last year i think, but i agree it could do with new parts. What would be a logical way to go about this, as in if i was to buy the engine and tank for him, and then find it still doesn't run, and so could possibly have spent unnecessarily on parts.
I was thinking if i got him a new fuel tank, fuel lines and a new glow plug and components for each, it would help diagnose any other problems that could be wrong with the car.
Is my logical thinking worth it? or is it completely pointless?
Thanks again for all your help so far.
