Thanks Mr. C!
'73 Lebaron- Thanks! Downtown and the lake are definitely a beautiful place to be. Glad you enjoyed our city, I'm about 15 or so minutes South/Southwest of downtown. Means a lot coming from someone living in such a beautiful place like NZ. I'd love to visit sometime.
Javier- Thanks!
Nothing wildly exciting for now, but stuff that just needs to be done. Belts and Hoses tomorrow is the plan. Plugs and wires if I have time as well. New front rotors, pads, and wheel bearings sometime this upcoming week, I'll take a good look at the soft lines then too, and might end up just doing them for peace of mind. I'm having my friend sandblast and paint my new air cleaner assembly, and when that's back, I'll drop the new distributor/box in and ditch the lean burn. Rear diff service, and a trans service are on the menu soon as well. Just making sure its up to speed for a nice long trip when I have the time. I'll probably short change the oil a few times as, like I had previously mentioned, it doesn't seem to have been changed in the last decade.
When it gets a bit warmer, I'll use the machine and evacuate and pull a vacuum on the AC system to check for leakage. Compressor runs and it gets cold, but hasn't really been warm enough to tell how well its working yet. We had snow flurries today
Tomorrow I can finally move the car into its permanent spot. A nice heated and cooled, enclosed, former parking garage that a good family friends husband uses for his own cars. He graciously made the offer to let me use it, and I couldn't say no. Best part is, it's about a 7 minute drive from the house, and frees up my garage. It's a small (maybe 25 spaces?) space, and he uses about 12 or so of those, so I'll have my own corner to play with. Definitely excited!
