She's looking rough, but in a good way.
All brake components are out, front & rear. All clutch hydraulics out. I'll try my hand at rebuilding the brake master and clutch master & slave units this weekend.
Got the brackets for the rear tube shocks sorted out, both front shocks were very low on fluid.
Front (V8) bushings next, then save my pennies for some new leaf springs.
New stuff in the dizzy, new wires, coil, plugs, oil, filters etc, rebuilt (I think) the HS4s. Replaced all the hoses and am ready to put the cleaned out radiator back in, when I eventually get the head back from the machine shop; new t'stat & water pump.
Shopping list is down to the following:
Leaf Springs.
Carpet.
Higher output alternator.
Whatever components are required to fix the unknown problem with the OD, that I'm not worried about yet.
The battery will be the last thing I buy.
I was expecting maybe to get her on the road by fall, but I think mid-late July looks promising.
Most of that time will be goofing with the brakes I'm sure.
I'm keeping my promise of this car never going to a shop for work.
