Back from the Doctor

Well she was in the shop for a few days. They found a laundry list of things I need to do... first order of business was finding why she was running rich and burning oil. Well Injector #1 was not functioning properly. I tracked down a part over the weekend, and we got that in as well as all new spark plugs. The cylinders all had good compression and with some adjustments to the idle she is running pretty well. 

The mechanical to do list right now... Replace both rear brake cylinders Air Flow Meter Boot and lots of other hoses are cracked and worn Leaking trans oil from the shifter assembly (very slow leak) New exhaust... I think from header back (at least new gaskets) Front suspension is fairly tight, but needs updates... 

Besides that she runs and drives great. The exterior of the car looks very nice, but the interior is missing a lot of parts. She doesn't have carpet, missing dash pieces, and the center console has seen better days. Some of the positives though are that the dash has no cracks and the windows and chrome trim are all in good shape. The seat belts are a little iffy so I need to get those replaced soon. Got her from the shop this afternoon and heading out to get her registered, keys made, and just enjoy driving her around!
