Ok so the 72’ I am picking up tomorrow I have decided to try and get it road worthy enough in the next month to drive it out to Cruise Moab probably Friday night and meet up with you all. Lots of unknowns still but things I do know need to happen include:
Flip Bezel
Fix fuel system- pump is bad and carb needs a rebuild.
Replace brand new rotten tires with lessor rotten tires.
Fix everything electrical because not much works. Probably just needs connections cleaned.
Replace battery cables because they are opposite colors currently (anti theft)
Replace tie rod, relay rod, drag link, plus all ends- they are all bent and in rough shape.
Replace all rubber brake lines because the are falling apart and go through rest of brake system.
Fix windows because regulators are worn and glass wont close all the way. May just go doorless for now.
Go through cooling system when running and replace hoses as needed.
Replace orange death fan with new plastic.
Put new wipers on because it always snows or rains on the way.
Go through ignition system carry some extra points and condenser.
Change every fluid and every filter.
Install winch if I have time.
Removed diamond plate and fender flares- this will probably happen within the first hour of ownership.
Make a functional speedo and gauges so I can tell temp and oil pressure.
Clean gas tank.
Rebuild parking brake.
Clean everything because its filthy.
Pray for decent weather so its not all done with sideways snow.
Drive slowly to Moab and drink beer with friends around a camp fire.
