My brother in law gave me an OT Buick from the 70's that had sat for 8 years. Put a new battery in it, and it fired right up after about a minute...
Most of that damage can be roughed out quite easily and fairly fast. If the part above the headlight is kinked badly enough that you can't get it...

No oil squirted into any of the cylinders. Didn't know that was necessary or required. Thanks for the replies though. I'm going to just drive...
I did a compression test. 1 is 115, 2 is 120, 3 is 125, 4 is 130, 5 is 120, and 6 is 115 lbs. Would I have compression this good if I had a...
