Hi Jab,

Has the car been sleeping inside or outside? The windshield seals are notorious for leaking at this age. If it has been outside you may see water damage at the dashboard and hat shelf in back.

You should plan on replacing a lot of rubber bits like brake hose, coolant hose, fan belts, tires, and most importantly fuel lines. It is unfortunate how often the vintage cars catch fire when they have been brought back on the road with dry rotted fuel lines.

Can't wait to see your pictures... I love sweat equity deals.
