new updates
been a few weeks so I figured I would update the progress on the 74:
fixed fuel gauge, replaced sending unit and wiring, rubber lines were all rotted, rigged up some new muffles for the time being just to here how it sounds with a exhaust:
new brakes all the way around, calipers, hard lines and new rubber lines, master cylinder. now I have real brakes again
fixed reverse :
got all the lights working again, headlights, parking lights, brake lights and reverse, replaced the upper and lower rad hoses:
also fixed the horn, changed the oil, and flushed the motor, used synthetic oil, no leaks at all so now she starts, stops, and moves under her own power again, after 20 years of sitting, I am very happy so far
