I've talked to Mike quite a bit and have been sorting out all the little bugs this poor thing has as a result of being neglected. It's coming along well. Just hit 104K and am waiting on my O2 sensors and hope to buy new cats and get it back to 100%.

I have a couple Q's.

1) I looked around and can't find somewhere I can get a vaccum line kit to replace everything under the hood. Seems I have to buy it all seperately. Is that true? I ask because I don't really know all the part names, but can look and tell where they go (if that makes sense). I want to do all the main vaccum lines under the hood - many are soft and Mike tells me they are likely collapsing under load.

2) Rain = wet drivers floor. No leadliner water so I assume the W/S seal is leaking. also seen someone post about a hole in the firewall. Any other ideas?

3) Would it be a reasonable idea to replace the main sensors? Like the crank, knock etc? I hate replacing things one at a time and finding out pretty much everything needs it!

Anyway - heres a pic or two. For 3500 bucks I'm not griping that I have to do some wrenching. I love working on cars, and this one aside from price for parts isn't so bad.

Oh last question... is a little more rugged tire a decent option? I do plan on getting dirty once in a while!

 

K - someone will have to help me with the pics... ??
