Re: Mystery: Tie-Rod Shock Absorber
Thank you. I found the page in Vol 1 (2-3) for adjusting the brakes. I adjusted them a while back and they have been working well. I did miss the 15 deg tilt so I will check that. Plan on...

Re: Black tar in gas tank
I was able to break the shelf of solidified tar up behind the baffles using a bunch of nuts. Looks like all the big stuff is finally gone. My guess is that the car sat for many years based on the...

I appreciate that. Probably a great idea for the front. The back is the challenge as the car has a large trunk in the back (see attached). My wife and I are still waiting on delivery of the car,...
