I bought the yellow '73 in March, and have done a lot of work and replaced a lot of parts on it. I'm starting to think I'm plugging holes on the Titanic. If it's not one thing, it's another. I should have started with a better car(?) I should sell it and buy a better one(?) I'm at that juncture and need to make a decision. What to do..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Can't get the exhaust to seal properly to the heads. Clutch is iffy. Right suspension console is crusty/soft. Jack points bad. Still runs rough after lots of dough put into it. Vacuum/exhaust leaks drive me nuts. I should have just cleaned it and turned it, but I'm buried a bit in it now.

These are the costly ones.....from what I remember from your posts...this is the car you found out in our famous dessert. You didn't ever pull the valances to inspect the longs? The other stuff you mention is easy. Report back.... |
