Tonight my son and I got out in the shop and changed the oil and transmission gear oil and gave the chassis a good inspection. It was great spending time with him and teaching him (and myself ) how to change the oil in the car, it was truly a learning experience for both of us, we have always serviced our own cars but I have never serviced one of these engines. Afterwards I let my son drive me around some country back roads with the top off . It was the first time my son has ever driven a manual transmission and he did really well. He has shown a ton of interest in this car so I think I'm going to let him have it.

Not to be a downer but isn't it dangerous to use the engine bar mounts as a support point?

I was waiting for someone to burn me on lifting on the engine bar, lol I decided to lift there because of the rust in the hell hole. While the car was on the lift I was able to inspect the bottom of the car for rust issues and pleased to say I could only find rust beneath the battery tray and wasn't to bad. I still have to remove the rocker covers. |
