Safety Hit List:
1. Figure out why I have a strong fuel smell in cabin when running
2. Service the brakes all around - they are functional but she dives to the right a little bit when I brake.
3. Clean up the steering wheel play as much as possible
4. Seat Belts - I have brackets on the floor for lap belts but I think I want to go with 3 point belts
5. Brake lights and turn signals

Good to know she runs well.
The strong fuel smell is more than likely the sending unit gasket is rotted out. New ones are available. Also the filler neck hose is probably hard and leaking fuel when you pour it in the tank. Mine leaks a bit in my GMC and it drives me nuts but I have't had the desire to do what it takes to fix the dumb thing because of where they Had to place it. lol
