Got her home and already started cleaning it up-
There was years of dirt piled up that I washed off. Then fixed and painted the bumper and bezel. Also ordered about $350 worth of restoration pieces to put on this weekend.
The top will be coming off this weekend and I'm having a soft top sent.
It's got a small coolant leak right now but I traced it to the plastic reservoir and will just replace it. Hopefully that will work.
I need to build a roll cage, so I'll be looking for someone with a bender.
In the next few weeks, I'll start prepping it for shiny new paint
[maybe I could bring it over to one of the McGyver's to share some knowledge before I start?]
I'll be bringing it over to Rhino's on Saturday- maybe a fellow 40 owner can take a gander at it and make sure everything looks right.
