And here are some photos from the summer when the car came home.
There are still some mechanical, electrical problems to work out.
The brakes need a full adjustment, not easy to do alone. Mechanical brakes work great when they are adjusted correctly. This is something that will wait for a bit.
The fun part about the test drive was that after we got up to about 15 mph, the vacuum pressure would kick in and the front drivers wheel brake would engage. Almost sidescraped a neighbors car!!
Next time I will find an empty parking lot.
