| I just took the old lady on her final Sunday cruise before I get underway, to return and overhaul the entire vehicle. The sky is as clear as can be, the air is clear and the day can be only described as perfect. Took her to the waterfront in Mukilteo, past the airport and stopped at the park for lunch, drove past the dealership in Everett where she was bought late 1982, before returning home to the garage thus, closing a chapter in her storied history. |

I really don't get the whole post. Can't figure out if you're putting a bullet in the tires and putting it down forever, or if you're just going to fix it up. |

I sometimes refer to her as "The Mrs."
Anyways she is 3 1/2 4 years older than me if it means anything.
And barring some sort of catastrophic failure I will be putting her on the lift and replacing most of the suspension, the fuel system, installing a new engine, and carpet....well as long as my leave request is granted.
I've been gearing up for this for the past several months and hopefully she'll be something worth showing off when finished. |

Dont forget to slow mo that B%tch and see the "100% jump" haha.....
Sounds like a big project undertaking.....Are you just replacing with stock suspension or are you upgrading everything? _________________
