More TODOs

Murphy's Law for car restoration: "Everything you don't replace will fail inspection."

We have a number of items to correct (to pass safety):
  • Front ball joints
  • Track rod joints (remaining, not just the centre link)
  • Ball joints
  • Driveshaft universal joint
  • Adjust parking brake

Plus an additional surprise: the starter motor died leaving the garage!

Update

A few notes. The plan is to have the car go through a safety inspection this week.

I had a new set of Toyo tires put on the car a couple of weeks ago. The old Michelins  (25+ years old!) were rock hard and slippery.

The Momo Prototipo steering wheel arrived this week. It feels better and should look good in the car.

We are trying to find someone who can straighten the dent in the rear bumper. I love the look of these cars without bumpers, but they are required where I live (and the fines are heavy).
