I've been working on the mistress as the woman in my life calls it, and have made some considerable progress!
I've got the driveshafts put togerther, got the motor all mounted, transmission mounted, put a nice set of 33's on it.
I need to go through the brakes though. The po let it sit for a few years with the brake valves cracked even though he added new front rotors and pads. I have very little pedal right now. I hope the master cylinder isn't bad after sitting but I'm sure it probably is.
I changed the valve cover gaskets and was pleasantly surprised to find little to no sludge in the heads. The odometer shows only 50k miles, and I'm starting to think this May be original miles..
And I actually got to drive it today! Only around the block, but it moved under its own power!
Now to track down the electrical drain, put in some good gauges, shocks, exhaust, and then enjoy it! I'm considering painting it first. I'm tired of owning multi colored vehicles..
