Build story
I bought the car last March with my stimulus to keep myself busy during quarantine, but ended up being "Essential" so it turned into a daily headache/project. The older gent I bought it off of was genuinely sad to see it go, haven't done much in the way of modifications. Have done lots in the way of maintenance. Which I'll list below for the hell of it. All of the work on the car has been done by me, in my driveway, no garage with hand tools, a jack and some jackstands! Safety first.
Complete new front end,
-Upper and lower control arms
-Stabilizer Links
-Swaybar bushings
-Inner and outer tie rods
-Ball Joints
Brakes (the guy said it had good brakes but it really didnt have any, drove it from Long Island to NJ with basically zero brakes, both the rear calipers were seized open and the fronts were only gripping a little on the passenger side)
-Calipers all around,
-Rock auto brake upgrade kit
-"Performance" Pads
Lines
-New high pressure P/S line
-HighP/S line fitting to rack
Motor
-High Mileage Oil n Filters
-Chewed through 3 garbage pepboys alternators, had to have a local alt shop build me one
-Spark plugs
-Battery
-Fuel filter,
-Full set of coils
-Serp Belt
The car is pretty clean for its mileage and I've e tried to keep it pretty stock looking. I've got some bullitt wheels I got on Craig's for cheap I'm working on shining up, but they are not on the car yet. I don't beat on the car too much, it's s a great cruiser for the Jersey Shores highways. Last week I got 16 mpg in her which was pretty neat. She's s an old gal but still has some life in her, thanks for reading.
