    Welcome! Glad you found the problem with the rough running. Also, if and when you need parts, there are many on here who may have them or help locate the best deals. I have both bought and sold parts on here and my experiences have all been positive. Great bunch of guys/gals here.

    Well, I was able to get the old girl out of the barn and into my dry and rodent free garage. Pulled her out today and had a flatbed tow it to my house (no tag and 20 year old tires, so couldn't drive it). She's been in storage for about 7 years, so quite dirty and dull. Going through the car piece by piece, and replacing just about every gasket, hose, etc...

    Just got some new tires and NOS wheels from Ebay. The original rally wheels were badly rusted. I love these Cooper Cobra Radial GT's. The BFG's were nice, but saved about $200 with the Coopers. Been changing all the fluids and gaskets, should have her out of the garage and on the road in a few months.

    Finally got her up and running and out of the garage after 10 years sleeping.
