Thanks for all of the insightful information.
This morning, I finally got around to putting a new belt on, refilling the coolant, and changing the oil.
Glad to say, she started up and ran like a charm. Nothing odd in the oil, and no strange noises. I did have a slight panic attack, as I let her sit in the driveway running. When she got up to operating temperature, she spit a small bit of anti-freeze on the drive. Turned out I'd over filled the radiator just a tad.
I was so happy, I jumped in her and drove her to work today. On the way, I got a couple of "thumbs-ups", and had a truck load of concrete finishers pull me over to take a look.
Life in a Bolt is great.
