Hello from Oregon
Hi! all, I'm just starting on getting my 81 drivable again. It's been sitting idle for 17 years. So far I know I am going to need new brakes, front and rear suspension work, new interior and new tires. This forum is a great source of information. I'm glad I found it.

I have a friend here who "brought his `82 back to life" with a Ram-Jet 502!
