So the fun has started, oh all those memories comming back
So far the things we have done:
-washed the car to remove 3 years Worth of muck (not to make the car pretty mind you, but to see what we are dealing with
-took off the bumpers (im going for chrome on this one)
-had a good poke around (the front panel with the lights is damaged and will be replaced, a few rust spots around the wheels - the sills were replaced by the previous owner so they are ok)
-removed the engine and in the process of washing it and replacing all the gaskets and seals (wouldnt you Know it, the head gasket blew, luckily i got the whole gasket set).
-Near future plans: clean the engine and the tranny
-put new fluids in, new sensors (lol), hoses, water pump
-rebuild the carb
-flush the radiator
-repair the gearbox (the bearings are destroyed, need new mounts..)
-make everything shiny…
