Just an update. Since the warm weather, I was able to replace the radiator with those new plastic tank/alum ones. (they are light). I also replaced the t-stat with a fel-pro oring gasket (nice too), the upper and lower hose and heater hose. All were very corroded inside. She now runs a consistent 180º with no more anitfreeze leaks. The trans pan doesnt leak anymore either.

I double checked the psi in the tires and found 45 in the drivers side and low 20s in the pass side. This explains why it handled horrible I think. I put 36 in them all and it rides nice and straight. I drove it around plenty today and she really rides nice.

Next up is a stereo and some more cleaning. Then eventually tires. Im open for suggestion on tires if anyone has any.
