I got an offer for all you BC guys!

Okay my sister got an Echo, she's trying to sell her '86 Lesabre to me for 400. Right now it's on the sunshine coast. She's trying to sell it to me for 400-500$. Apparently (According to Canadian tire) it needs a new intake manifold gasket?

There are no other mechanics up in the sticks, and this is just according to Canadian tire's diagnostic computer. When she starts it up it shakes VIOLENTLY and stalls every so often. So since you're all grease monkeys, I figure I could ask for a few hands to help get this thing running again!

Reason I want it running: Cheap on gas, super comfortable transportation and was once dead reliable once a girl owned it.
I want to fix it and eventually sell it off.

Only thing is I don't have a lot of $$$ to offer people. But what I can do is get a couple kegs of beer and some KFC/Pizza whatever that'll be lying around for helping.

Some time when its a nicer day. Any takers?

When I said "whatever that will be lying around" I meant whatever i order in. But you tried to twist it around on me.
