Well, I finally have her, after nearly 7 years.......... or, that could be 8................ on her own 4 wheels...... Was tinkering in the garage and just had to do it. I'm waiting for one push-rod for a front wheel cylinder, but other than that,,, the front brake assembly is done.........

Here are some more pics of the car out in the Sun. The garage lighting doesn't do the factory LL1 dark turquoise paint justice...

Wow!  Out in the sun really make the turquoise come out!  Looked more blue in the garage.   :thumbsup:
