Is that something that is chronic or can it be fixed easily? thanks for the opinion.

it can be fixed, just typical for the age of the car. maybe just in need of new hoses.
check the brakes, and look for leakage from the calipers at each wheel. something else that usually
leaks on these cars with age. good luck.

I fixed your incomplete link in the middle but there's still a problem with the photo...

How about body and interior pics?

arrggghhhhh,, I TOLD my husband I was going to upload/download interior pics, too. He said all you guys cared about was the engine/undercarriage so I didn't do them. I was proud of myself for doing the pics I did. I don't like PB! Ok, when I get home I will put up the interior. The exterior car pics can be seen at cars.com '79, Dark blue, zip code 76712
Vetbuyer5869 thanks for fixing what I didn't even know was broken!!

I drove a 1979 L-82 for 17 years but you have not provided much to comment on.

Engine pic is pretty good; under car pic is out of focus.

there are more photos under "more pics 79" that have undercarriage. My first time doing Photobucket. I will put up interior shots in a little while.
