Nice job on the engine bay Drgon! did you have to replace the foil coated sound deadening material at the front of the bay also? Mine's pretty beat from the PO, was wondering about the hassle factor..

Took her out today to stretch her legs for the first time since I got the car. The gauges don't work, but my friend told me he had the same problem with it when he owned it. He said that it usually came to life after a couple of days of driving it. Not knowing how hot the engine is running or oil pressure ETC. Makes me a little nervous not to mention not knowing how fast I'm going, especially since I'm not in the mood for a speeding ticket. lol.

In a couple minutes I'm going to post a photoshoot thread - dash is here and is AMAZING.
They actually look pretty good to my eye... after reading about the hassles that caused you, I think I'll leave them

I've had my car on stands for the last two or three weeks, trying to replace control arm bushings on my '84. Not a fun or simple job to do with the space in my garage, so I finally said "screw it" and just did an oil change, and replaced my fan switch with a correct temp. switch. Now my fans come on and off when needed, like they should. Of course, I'm also finding more things wrong with the car as I go, but it's fun!

MPD: Great job on the trolley!!
Performed LOF service to summer oil and retorqued all suspension/chassis hardware in anticipation of this coming week's (Fri the 13th) road trip. SE Massachusetts down through all eastern seaboard states and, if time/funds allow, New Orleans. I'll be seeing friends/family and hope to meander through areas of this country that I've normally taken the highway (I-95 Corridor). Another bucket list item to be check off...

Fixed my odometer AGAIN. Think I may have it sorted out this time around, but will want to see it work for multiple days before calling it a success.
For those of you w/ early odometers that seem like they ought to be working, check to make sure that the grey metal gear that fits into the 'tenths' place on the main odometer readout (not the trip one) is firmly attached to the shaft that it sits on. In my case, the traditionally failing gear had come loose, but after fixing that to the shaft in place w/ superglue, the other gear was also slipping when it was warm. When it got cold enough, the gear shrunk enough to grab onto the shaft.
I couldn't get superglue to do anything since both gear and shaft were metal, but some blue loctite that I had laying around seems to have done the trick. We'll see if it holds up, but at least for the time being, it's better.
