Not too shabby, Nik! I inherited an '83 4WD like yours (but blue) a few years ago from my late MIL. Only had 64K on the odometer! I touched up the few rust spots and had it shot by MAACO. 6 weeks later coming home on the highway the engine fused itself into a solid metal block. I felt awful about getting rid of it (for sentimental reasons) but I just didn't have the time or funds to put another engine in it and the town frowns upon inop cars. The thing really was a bear in the snow!
