........steering column (rough) fix (for now), after the convict (for some drug related reason) beat the original to death with a ball-peen hammer and screw drivers, trying to get his 3-speed linkage to function - and my new (slightly shorter) front springs.....

MacAttack · 09-18-2009, 01:07 PM

.......well, at least he didn't remove the front plate - some '283' engine shots.
