So life has gotten in the way and a summer storage turned into almost 3 years of storage

^ many people may have sold the car at that point, but good for you for sticking it out thus far. Good luck getting things back in order if you decide to keep the car and get it back on the road.

thanks! definitely keeping the car. Just need to safely get it back to working order. My goal is to grab it from the inlaws garage in Vaughan in two weeks. Now just need help with what I need to do to get it road worthy! Or if there's any shops close by to there that can do everything it needs.

My car hasn't been driven since the end of 2015.
Just don't give up on it. Slowly work on it
My engine blew up , I lost my job and was down on my luck completely. I still made sure the car could stick around and I've been collecting parts ever since for the car.


Just please don't give up

ouch. sorry to hear. Fortunately for me, my car hasn't been driven since I have three little kids and live in the city with one garage (no driveway). wife basically said I could drive it but not store it at home
Kids are slightly older now (7,5,2) and I'm seeing glimmers of hope... and I want to set a precedent with the wife... lol

I hope my tires aren't shot after this long... they were new!

I suggest getting new tires once you are able to drive it again. I would never agree to not being able to store my car at my place unless you rent a garage like i do currently at someone's house.
Just take it easy let the kids grow a bit .
