What's your entire list of stuff to get done? Overhaul engine? Bodywork? what?

I'm taking mine back tomorow to the Trans shop to have them look at my rear end. I had them put in a posi unit back in January and it leaks and howls at 50 MPH.

Next week I'm going to have a electirc cooling fan installed........

Well, that should keep you busy for a while!

I've been having cooling issues with my car ever since I got it. I think it's lack of air flow through the radiator. I hope the electric fan helps......

Here's the one. Most CFM that I could find.....

Good!

I'm taking mine in tomorrow in order to get a different AC condensor installed. Hopefully they will solve my never ending heating problem.

Well that's good. You were kind of mismatched as far as wheels go.

I got my center console out and repainted it and changed out the trim, and the light assembly. Looks pretty good!
