whaddya know - ask question at one job, go to the second, and when i get out serious info awaits!
ok, it sounds like i'm not completely insane, just a bit.
steering is pretty nice on this thing. propshaft brake is smooth and tight. hydraulics - new lines in the rear, but still not great. definitely stops tho. engine runs passably. radiator is NEW even! it's just..... really ugly and rusty.
asfor the rear, i actually have to get it out on the road and see if it shift into not-AS-low on its own, or if i'll have to stick it there myself and leave it for the ride.
i have about 10 of my 40 miles on a back road, more or less, so i can get a feel for it pretty quick. ifit makes it the first few miles into town for a gas stop, i'll sanity check alot there and decide on the next hop.
if nothing else, it'll be an experience, yah?
don't anyone go worrying, i'm reasonably paranoid about anything i think might break. this should make it, but SLOW, and it'll prob suffer a bit since it hasn't been onthe road lately.
oh yeah - anyone from illinois here? crappy old thing has a 2000 vintage ilinios inspection sticker in the windshield! and noone changed the glass out...... i just don't get it.....
