My latest acquisition is becoming quite a comprehensive preservation/restoration. But that's OK. I'll know what I have when it's completed! When draining the transmission before transporting it, there was water in with the oil. The owner said the guy he got it from said it had been left outside for an unknown amount of time, probably several years. I pulled the head to check the cylinder condition before attempting to start it and WOW! , deeply scored piston and cylinder wall from seized rings. Well let's just do the whole engine. So while waiting for seals, bearings, gaskets, a new top end ( stock) and some miscellaneous stuff, I took apart and cleaned the speedo head, the cables ( broken accel and choke cable), rear signals, both brake assemblies, repacked rear pinion, polished the chrome, and tested all the bulbs.
