How's the engine? Was it winterized? I would get it running & proceed from there. Hopefully the engine is still good. If not, then the project is probably not worth doing. Thankfully it has a Merc outdrive & not an OMC which most Sunbird's were equipped with. The project that you are about to undertake is not an easy one, but can be done with some hard dirty work. If I were you I would pick up a copy of "Runabout Renovation". The book will tell u all you need to know about this kind of project. Amazon.com usually has it for less than 20 bucks. That & the experts on this forum will get u thru the tough times & help u get it done. Good luck!

Hi Sea Wolf! No it wasn't winterized, but the engine IS a Merc OB. It had been replaced before we bought it. So, one down-side and one up! I'll look into getting that book. Thanks for the tip. School has just started back for us, so it will be a slow going project, but hopefully a worth-while one. We still plan to take it for an estimate on the existing termite damage.
