Well, she's home and overall, a decent example. Pulled out the rats nest of audio wiring that was snaked throughout the interior, cleaned some things up but that's about it for now. The wheels are 15's after all so apparently someone made off with the original 16's. Stopped by Charlie Grant's shop and he identified the source of my oil drip (oil line) and suggested a valve adjustment after hearing it idle.
Was going to have him do the valve adj (I've never done one), but with a night to sleep on it, I decided to give it a shot myself. (Charlie...may be calling you for advice if I get in a jam).
So, Pelican has already made a few withdrawals from my retirement fund, and I'm sure there are more to come. Will be starting a new job on Monday which will be a tremendous inconvenience from the important stuff in life, but really looking forward to digging in to this car as time permits.
