chadz34 Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Well I went out to start it today. When I put it away last year I disconnected the battery and left in there. So I go out today thinking I would have had to boost it because the battery might be dead. I hook up the cables and it only took 5 cranks and she started up! I let her run for about 15 minutes. It sounded really good. It was running exellent too. I'm going back in about another month to get it out which then I will have pictures. I called my friend yesterday to get his DigiCam but he wasn't home. But yeah, I'll get some pics up for you guys. I was so excited when it started! I watched the tach jump from 0 to 2100! BBBRRRROW.

5speedz34 Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Damn, you put it away since 1992! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Well every winter it goes away and since my dad wants to get his Camaro Z28 out sometimes the Lumina sits for 2 or 3 years. The reason for only getting one car out is becuase my parents only have a one car garage and I refuse to let the Z34 sit outside all night and the same with them they want there Camaro in the garage and since it's there house I lose.

1990lumina Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Reasons are because of the sun?? Or fear of vandaliism, etc..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Vandalism mainly. Some kid in the summer rode down the hill on his bike and hit my moms Blazer so If that were the Z34 I would kill someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
