Needs paint, cleaning and stuff tends to break whenever I take it for a drive. I just picked it up this year so I haven't gotten too deep into it yet. The 75 was pretty rough but work over the past few years has made it respectable. I'm down for helping out anyone for a few hours on a weekend when time permits. Whereabouts in Houston do you live?

I am on the West side. off I-10 just west of Beltway 8. Toward Katy, but not all the way out there. Things on my short list to get it inspected and on the road are:
Emergency brake
Spark plugs
Transmission leak
power steering leak
headers and exhaust (I know this isn't a necessity to get it on the road)

E-brake suck and neither of mine work. I just found a "friendly" shop that didn't test them. If you were in my area, I would send you there.
Plugs are easy and are best reached throgh the wheel well.
Trans leak could just be a pan gasket
Power steering is probably lines. clean the everything off with degreaser and fill it up, Drive around slowly and turn the wheel to full lock a couple times and look for the leaks.
Wouldn't mind helping ya turn a wrench or 2. Might be a good excuse to send the wife and kiddo to Katy Mills mall to shop.
