Righto, First up, George is alive and has been around the block under his own power.
Ok, first up was to fix the damn
oil leak, after resealing with a worth product,
It still leaked. So out it came again, this time though to be replaced.
I ducked up town and grabbed a few bits and pieces.
Then when home assembled it all and fitted to vehicle.
Tested and all was good.
I made a start on the exhaust on Friday night, got as far as headers through X pipe and R/H muffler fitted (It is a 2 1/4 inch mandrel bent system with straight through mufflers).
Saturday morning I finished off the L/H side.
By this stage Ronda was threatening a cold shoulder in bed, so I stopped here and went to spend some time with Ronda (I had forgotten what she looked like).
Sunday morning into it again, Finish making the exhaust with twin system through to the back with stainless tips.
Fitted a coolant recovery tank and bled out cooling system.
Bled the brakes, only to discover the master cylinder is shagged (will pick up or order a new one tomorrow), it got the better of me and I had to take him for a spin (Really wanted to test the auto) Backed him off the hoist and off I went (hand brake only), drove like a dream, auto shifted spot on and steering is super light (needs alignment).
I knew the tank was low as I need to drop it out and replace a leaking hose, but he ran out before I got home (fark, George is killing me).
Got some fuel and got him going, drove home.
Back on the hoist and all is good with no leaks and noises and no sign of rubbing anywhere.
Refitted the grille, refitted a/c pipes (no compressor fitted yet) and other odds and ends.
