Picked this up from Aaron (amish_geek) on Thursday. Finally got around to take some pics of it. This is after I cleaned it up a little.

I've already done a few things.
- Removed shitastic radio
- Installed center console
- Removed trailer hitch
- Replaced all vacuum lines
- Basic maintenance (plugs, wires, intake, oil)

One thing that kinda freaked me out is the valve cover / head bolts were ALL very loose, I am not sure why, but that's a thing of the past.

I have a healthy order from eEuro on the way, I'll update as I go along.

Oddly enough, mine were too on my SPG. It never leaked though.

That spoiler annoys me. Ill get you a fresh one for 8$ plus shipping. I need to cover the gas to get to the post office:)

I prefer 85s solely because I Prefer Black to Ed. Gray, But this thing still looks pretty cool! If you were closer id be trying to sell you 88+ suspension among other things

The plan is just to make it a solid old school cruiser. I do not want to drive it in the winter. It will not be a show car by any means, but I want to recondition it as much as I can. Performance-wise, nothing serious at all. A 9000 IC and BOV are on the soon list, I don't want to touch the APC because of the fact it has nearly 300,000 miles.
