10k mi Road Trip Prep! '77, 210k mi
Any tips to prepare for a 10,000 mile road trip around the country?
I'm taking my 1977 911S Targa, around the country for the whole month of April. Starting in Denver, then going to Houston, New Orleans, Miami, North Carolina, Avalon NJ, Pennsylvania, Boston, Ohio, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Yellowstone, Washington, San Francisco, San Jose, LA, San Diego, then down into Baja and back to Denver.
I've only put 3,000 miles on the car in my ownership. So far, my big fix list is:
-Oil leaks (think valve covers, but will look everywhere)
-Fuel gauge (think the gauge has the fault, I replaced the sending unit)
-Misc. body trim & seals
-Windshield wiper sprayers (they worked when I bought it, but either I'm out of fluid or the pump has quit)
-Fog lights (those also worked, but now don't)
-Heater hoses (slipping off the heat exchangers, would be nice to replace those and have as much heat as possible when wanted)
-Rewire headlight circuit to relays
-Replace fuel filter (can't find them on our host's website, though...)
-Pack oil to fill as needed throughout trip (gauge is reliable, already fixed that, and will check daily anyway)
What else should I consider doing? Are there any important things to bring besides fuses, belts, and some tools? Thanks in advance!
