Im going to keep her original where possible and just want her to be a nice driver/ cruiser when Im done.
Ive given her the once over, checked all the fluids etc and have put her up on axle stands so I can work underneath etc. She runs ok now and I have run her up and down through the gears etc while off the ground and everything seems fine.
I have prioritised the jobs as follows;
1. BODYWORK......dent on passenger wing top, small repair to drivers side floorpan, repairs to both roof to C pillar joints, couple of very small rust patches on the rear quarters. Bare metal the roof and prime/ paint to seal it.
2. UNDERSIDE....all rock solid with light surface rust as dry state car. Tank out, new fuel lines etc, underseal as I want her to be an all weather driver.
3. ENGINE BAY.....steam clean, check and tidy all wiring. Clean bulkhead connector, remove non functioning aircon (less cluttered look). Check all the usual stuff (plugs, leads, carb settings, timing and general service stuff). Fit new washer bottle and hoses.
4. BRAKES......general service, good clean, adjust rears, bleed etc
5. LIGHTING.....covert to UK spec dipped beam units, move side lights out of indicators into headlamps, rear orange indicators.
6. INTERIOR.....new carpet, fit radio (found one in North Carolina. Just needs a clean) General clean, repairs to front seats. New mirror (thanks Dunc)
This is my general plan as a starting point. As I progress, Im sure I will find other stuff to do so watch this space
Cheers Steve
