    [​IMG] [​IMG] just got this comet for my neice, it is very clean and rust free except for hood.has a 200 i six.every thing works but the tail lites and brake lites.
    i think it may be a ground problem will have to check into it. 63,000 miles on car.front bench seat has a few tears on driver side. anyways, she is all excited and ready to get all road worthy. after i reline the brakes and get tail lamps going it should be good to go.

    It looks like your trying to link them to your email. But that wont allow us to see them. Upload them to the forum gallery.

    Try getting a Photobucket account, upload them to your account, and link to them from there. I use it and have no problems.

    I'd love to see it, anything involving Comets catches my attention!

    thanks i think i may have the tank issue solved also, i pulled it out and cleaned it very good on the inside and blew lines out andthen replaved the sock on the pick up and now it is running quite well. hopefully i got all the gunk out, but if it still gives some probs ill contact you ok. btw what would you need for the tanks?
