While the motor is out.....
« on: August 28 2011, 11:18:06 AM »
What should I get done in the engine compartment?

My list so far:
Relocate fusible links
Replace entire front suspension (all but shocks/springs, they are in decent shape)
Clean and paint area
Replace any remaining vacuum lines
Possibly run new, larger gauge wiring from battery to alternator, and run larger gauge wire to power hungry circuits.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Good idea, I gave them a cursory inspection, I will examine more closely. Thanks!
