I have a couple threads on road trips I did in my euro. Last one was in March.

I have done a ton to my car before I even took my cross/middle? country trip last summer. And the euro is the plan jane taxi version so noting to really go wrong. I did take my 78 on three trips to Cali.

The 78 pretty much died here after the first trip. Had to replace starter, glows, battery cables, battery. The euro had an axle boot go bad and that was it but second trip the front main seal went and my home made shifter bushings gave me issues..

Its pretty much once these cars are running they stay running unless there is a fuel issue. What I like! As was said only a few things will leave you stranded.

Bad motor mounts leading to the slicing of an oil cooler line is one of the biggest. I just showed my friend that both his oil cooler lines showed rub marks...he said he had no idea.
