Update June 16, 2013


It’s been a long time coming, but finally complete... well almost. Everything is put back together, the paint has been polished and it runs great. Brought it up from Dayton to Sterling Heights, about 250 miles, no issues. Ran great, all the gauges reported as necessary, I kept flipping through the coolant and oil temp, voltage and oil pressure to keep tabs and make sure no spikes. All went well. Cruised at 55-70 perfectly.

Truth be told, there are a few issues left to address. The front door speakers still need to be installed. The A/C needs to be troubleshot to find the reason I don't get cold air. The power steering rack will need new seals, but I'm not losing much fluid, so I'm not in any hurry to tear into that. There are still some flaws in the paint that need to be addressed, but overall it looks good. The wheels cleaned up okay, but the clear coat has some scuffs in it, so I'm debating stripping the clear coat and just polish the wheels. Not sure if I'll go that route. I'll try it on the spare first.

For right now, I can drive it and enjoy it, so that's what I'm going to do....

Till next time.

I've posted some new pics, check them out.
