Let's see . . . I have two Miti-Vacs (should throw the old one away) and have gotten very familiar with it on my '87. At this point, the line that is hanging unconnected is the area I'm concerned with. I have the CD manuals coming but I get impatient when I find something like the line.

The interior is in overall good condition. Though the eBay listing said no tears, there is one on the back of the rear seat at the top (one of the two center seams). This concerns me since I do rely on the accuracy of the ads. Probably too picky. That is the primary thing I want to discuss with the seller.

Other than that, the seats are good. I am going to use my Leatherique two part treatment hopefully before it gets any colder around here. I would certainly like to get it done before putting it up for the winter.

Fluids and filters are all being changed. Brake, anti-freeze, Mobil 1 5w30 (?), Mobil 1 for trans and rear. Added a can of Redline to the fuel (was full when arrived).

While up on the carrier, I noticed the trans pan has just been replaced. Sticker was still on it. Shifting hard 1>2 & 2>3. Some vibration that appears speed related 30 mph +/- but also some engine shake. Still have much to check. 124 miles since it arrived.
