Good idea. I am kinda of the mind to spruce up the engine amd engine compartmemt, followed by cleanimg up the interior. As for the exterior, I will probably just pressure wash it and leave it as is for now. I just don't have the time for big plans and you are right, I would probably tear it appart amd then lose interest.

Today, I got the master cylinder imstalled and took the rear wheels off to check the condition of things. I don't want to have to replace all the brake stuff just yet, I just want it to drive so I can bring it home.

I found that the left rear brake drum is cracked which was a bummer. It appears to have been driven that way for some time.

Anyway, tomorrow I plan on having my daughter help me bleed the brakes. Should be a good learnimg experence for a 10 year old. And with luck, it should at least stop after that, I hope!

It has been an interesting experience to try and figure out what the original hubcap and inner grill color would have been. I have yet to come to a true conclusion but I brought home what I believe to be the original hubcaps with the hope that they may hold clues as to their original colors. I love a good mystery!
