So far I have replaced the front brakes, master cyl, packed wheel brgs, etc. Also, cleaned up some wiring and switches. Headlight sw; high beam sw; lubed up everything. I find that the wipers work, the blower motor is OK but only one speed, so I need a resistor.
In my closer inspection I am finding more stuff completely worn out than expected. I know it's old, but generally some of the stuff has been replaced. So, the good and the bad is that it is worn out, but I am not reworking someone else's crappy work. Hey it has uncut original wiring harness that is in fantastic condition.
The front end - ball joints are so bad I am concerned that the wheels will fall off. The carrier bearing is completely rusty and barely hanging on.
lol....wawawa......I am sure everyone on here has gone thru the same thing.

Yeah.....On these relic's I expect NOTHING to be in even fair condition...that way I am never surprised. It's the way some of this stuff was operated at the end of it's life expectancy. As late as even the 80's an old vehicle was a liability, just junk if it wasn't usable...
