Welcome!

Here are some additional things to look out for:

1. Fix oil leaks Look for clues to where the grease/grim came from. Oil gets on the car and then the dirt sticks to it.

2. Typical oil leaks:
- Front seal (crank) on engine timing cover
- Rear seal (crank)
- Rear transmission seal (drive shaft)
- valve cover gasket
- oil pan gasket
- oil sending unit
- transmission pan, lines
- rad tranny oil cooler connections
- Power Steering hoses
- PS pump
- Engine gaskets (depends how much you take off

3. Cleaning & painting
- that purple climate friendly stuff works the best. Buy a spray bottle and pour undiluted cleaner into bottle.
Spray it on and keep it wet. Scrape, rinse with water using pressure sprayer, spray cleaner again and cycle
until it's clean.
- Once you have removed the dirt and grim it's time to prepare for paint. Clean all the parts you intend to
paint with wax & grease remover. Then sand the parts, clean with wax & grease remover, final wipe, then
spray with paint. Use a good epoxy primer and top coat.

4. Preventive maintenance
- take your alternator and starter into Auto-electric company to give you a quote to recondion these parts.
Never trade your original parts for a knock off .
- recondition ignition system, carb, fuel and brake lines (replace/recondition), gas tank?

Good idea taking the engine & tranny out.

Good luck!
