So I got away from Uncle Sam and got to work on the 25. I was nice to work on it for the first time since 2000. It's going to be a lot of work but as I said in previous threads I just want to get it running first. I'll post all the work and updates and millions of questions I'll have for all the experts here.
DAY 1: CLEAN!
So my first goal was to clean all the junk and presents that all the little critters left for me over the past few decades. I found a few little issues with it I had forgotten about. Small holes in the fuel tank, hacked up seat frames, etc. Cosmetically its pretty rough in certain spots, the area near the back doors and the roof. Mechanically it's not so much of a basket case which I'm happy about. In previous threads I've said it was stuck in 3rd gear, the reason it has not run since 1980. The shifter was already pulled off so I took a look inside and couldn't find anything that look unusual. I didn't touch it much since I just wanted to clean things today.
Now for some photos.
It was pretty nasty before this so this is kind of in the middle of the cleaning.
Pretty happy with how it looks so far. It is getting super hot here and I'm stopping until later day.
Awwww Yeahhhhhhhhh.
Sorry for the crap photos, I'll fix that later on.
