The car has been doing great!
I have been working on it a lot trying to get everything sorted, but still keeping it together enough to drive it and enjoy it.
So far this is what I've done:
Backdated the heat / deleted AC pump - to help make future maintenance easier
Rebuilt the chain tensioners with new collars and installed new cover gaskets
Cleaned as much as the gunk out of the engine bay walls/tins as I could
Replaced both the camshaft oil lines
Replaced all the small vacuum lines
Ignition full tune up - (plugs/wires/cap/rotor)
Adjusted the valves and installed new valve cover gaskets
Fresh oil change with some Brad Penn 20w50
Rebuilt the pedal box with the bronze bushings
Adjusted the clutch
Lubricated the door mechanisms
Installed aluminum door handles
Fixed & lubricated the heater/fresh air control wires in the dash (one was bent and inop)
Replaced all the dash light bulbs
Installed a classic WEVO and new shift coupler bushings
Cleaned and lubricated the hood/trunk latch mechanisms and adjusted them
Removed the center console and put a patch of black vinyl over the remaining holes
Put new wiper blades on
Replaced the fan belt and adjusted it
I think that is most the big stuff, and the car is feeling/running MUCH better now. The shifter/clutch overhauls have made the car so much more drive-able I can hardly believe it. Also all the work on removing the heater motor and AC have made working on the engine a breeze, much easier to keep clean and see what is going on. The car idles smoother and I adjusted it to right around 900rpm which is significantly quieter than the 1200 it was at before.
I think next on the list are some steering improvements (turbo tie rods and a steering column bushing) to remove the spongy/squeaky nature that is up there right now.
