Well, the brakes need addressing (pad retaining clips are shot, one heat shield needs clearancing for the J30 caliper and the booster may be shot), the P/S pump needs a CA pulley, the fuel door needs addressing and she needs an alignment....BAD. But she drove all the way to Dallas last night and aside from some odd bogging (I think there may be a small vac leak) she seems ok.

On the non-essential front I need to address the stereo (there is none), get a new hatch and a few other things.

So yeah. Stick a fork in her: she's done.



Thanks to everyone that helped. I had all of them sign the rad core support with a silver sharpie. There are a few signatures missing, but once they are present, I am clearing it.

Other than the jacked hatch lid, this car is seriously clean. My old coupe photographed well and looked good at 30 feet, but up on the it epic dings, scrapes and 4 different shades and finishes of rattle can white really made it not look so good.
