Spent some time today with the TR, my son got to see her for the first time today. We took the seats out and I vacuumed the interior to see how bad the floors were, yep, pretty bad but it's okay, the floor pans will be replaced. The driver's side rocker will need to be replaced or repaired. The passenger side rocker wasn't as bad as the other but why not replace all of it with new stuff and be done with it? That is what will be done.
I pulled the plugs and was able to turn the motor a little by pulling on the fan belt. I will need to remove the radiator in order to get a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft pulley bolt because it looks pretty tight in there. Hopefully when I get the bar on there I will be able to turn the engine completely. I removed the valve cover and things didn't look too bad in there, no sludge build up but just a little carbon. The engine has oil in it, it is black and exactly a quart low but at least it isn't milky or silver looking. The middle valve cover stud is missing which leave me wondering, why? The inside of the valve cover was pretty clean also. Anyhoo, baby steps are being made but as long as I keep stepping along, things happen. Everything on the car can be fixed, repaired, or replaced, just takes time. Lol. My son got to sit in the car and it reminds me of me!!!
