'85 V8J60 SOA-auto-doubler in VA $5000
Seriously, up for sale. Tons of money in this thing, not a bad truck, wheels much better than my driving shows. Please help spread the word, we're trying to scrape together a down payment on a house this summer. Radiator is not back in yet, as it has a pin hole leak but it will go back together and be driveable.
The overheating problem at Uhwarrie was because the radiator cap was not tightened on then when the cooling system pressurized itself it sprayed out the cap. I don't know why with all of the people standing around no one noticed that it was coming out of the cap and not the overflow... but that's why the lower hose blew off the next morning when we got it all back together.
I've started cleaning up the rust. I fixed the floorboard on the DS, and the passenger side interior wheelwell. I've cleaned up the drivers side rear wheel arch. The passenger side is trimmed back but not welded shut, and close to finishing up.
