Having more of the same kind of fun with my 16 valve. Started 10 days ago, and still in the proccess cleaning and preparing a parts list. This car was bought knowing it was rode hard and put away wet. Many of the known squaks are now revealing their origin.

Squak List;

Oil leaks
Timing Chain, Guides and Tensioner
A/C Clutch
Power Steering hoses
Cruise Control Actuator mounts and linkages
Starter rebuild
Heater Blower Motor
Heater core or valve leak
Climate Contol vacuum actuator rigging
Install Seater Heaters

This list keeps on growing, suspension and steering are for summer repairs. Still amazed at how many bolts have to be removed to get at any thing, of course you wouldn't if a bolt is missing either!

With all the pain involved, I still love the car! This restoration will just add to the miles of smiles that I get from driving down the road!
