The man who owned the car must have known it was going to sit a long time he cover the complete car with oil or maybe cos Moline.here is a before and after a quick wash.

Also removed cam 2 lifters were split so those were replaced. also replaced timing chain and front engine seal and front motor mount and removed and cleaned pan although there was not much slug in it. another thing I did was replace all wheel cylinders rebuilt master cylinder and replaced all brake hoses. The tank will probably come out today to get cleaned. Not sure how much I am going to do on this car. Posted on: 2022/8/30 5:00

Your running board trim is 120 style but complete. Which interior option do you have? There are at least three upholstery types. Posted on: 2022/8/30 8:56
