The 2nd one - it runs!

I made a little progress towards making this thing drivable. Replaced the front pads and rotors.




As you can see, they were in pretty bad shape. Luckily the rear brakes were still in great shape.

The list to get it drivable now:
Replace rear driveshaft.
Straighten tie rod.
Fix exhaust.
Tune up.

Not too bad really.

Any progress?

Actually, yes!

I got the driveline replaced, straightened the tie rod and replaced the muffler. It was somewhat drivable, but had no power. It sat like that for a few months. Recently I changed the plugs and wires, and switched it over to HEI. That made a huge difference so it actually runs decent now. I have a ton of brake fade now, so gotta chase that down at some point, but I've been spending all of my free time working on the yellow one getting ready for BB2020.

Thats awesome! Most of the time these old threads just die.
