well, pumped the tank out today from the fuel sender hole. about 4 gallons of very old fuel in there. on the bottom of the tank was about 1/8" of dark chocolate colored tar. no rust on bottom and the goo was very smooth like the hot chocolate fudge you pour on ice cream. no grit or chunks. i'm THINKING this will dissolve with some additives and clean fuel over time. yes? no? fuel outlet screen will be changed.

got the passenger power window fixed, lower bushing of motor seized up. can be removed pretty easily without taking the regulator down. window was stuck in the up position. had to pop the cover off the gear case in order to mesh the top bushing.

easy fix on the door lock pump by just removing it and hitting it with 12v in various configurations on the 3 pins. motor whirred and then worked when plugged back in. each door lock works!!!

after several bulb replacements, all interior, puddle, and instrument lights are working. except for the trunk as there's a short in the lid wires that blows the courtesy light fuse.

it's coming along. much left to do.
