I spent the remainder of the fall taking care of a few issues and enjoying it as it is. All basic tuneup work was done - spark plugs, coolant flush, oil change, differential oil flush, trans oil flush, tie rod replacement, fuel filter, and sorted out some misc. electrical issues.
I also swapped on my CSL wheels, braided stainless brake and clutch lines, slave cylinder, and clutch setup, and shifter from the other car. While the transmission was out I also did the shifter detent fix, refreshed all shifting linkage bushings, and also replaced the rear main seal on the S52.
LS swap and general overhaul underway!
