hi all, just got a 82 ce that needs lots of tlc. Ive already put m/c, rotors, calipers/pads, did tune up with plugs/wires/cap/rotor, fuel filter, air filters. drained tank to get rid of stank gas. I had a big gap in the rear hatch so i t slotted the hinges but need some hinge shims to bring it down to weatherstrip. needs paint, i razor bladed most of the old clear off already, seat covers, door panels, steering wheel and carpet. i guess ill post things i could use some help with in another posts. thanks Frank
