Joining the 60 club soon. Picking it up this weekend. An 82, all original just about zero rust. -
Got my bumper re-installed post powdercoat. Also finished the final tune up tasks prior to SAS, new plugs, rotor and cap, checked the timing and topped off all fluids where needed. Also checked and greased my new front driveshaft.
