Hi guys. Progress over the winter was slow but I did make progress. Clutch was messed up. Somebody had done a poor job of trying to replace it. Disc and pressure plate were like new still. Throwout bearing was seized. Replaced just the bearing and had the flywheel resurfaced. Seems to be good now. Rack and pinion and all the power steering lines were replaced. It was leaking everywhere. Starter went bad, so replaced that as well. Repaired leaky exhaust manifolds too. Replaced a leaky wheel cylinder. Lastly, pulled the differential cover, checked the health of the gears and filled it with new fluid. Mechanically, it is road worthy again. I'll need to drive it around some to verify that it's OK. If everything checks out, it'll be on to body and paint.
