Items needed-------------------------------------------------
Does not need anything major, here are some minor items....
-- Factory A/C - fan works, but not cold. Recently converted to 134a fittings, added new expansion valve. Compressor comes on, but no cold air.
-- Minor engine oil & trans leak, rearendhas leak.
-- Front end & all suspension rides smoothly and quietly. Ball joints and tie rod bushings look marginal on need to replace
-- Rallye water gauge reads high, but engine does not overheat. Installed new 195* thermo and top water hose, laser readings on top and bottom of radiator look good, water flows in radiator, new antifreeze, and fan clutch spins normally. So maybe gauge is just reading high, have been driving it in hot weather with no overheating symptoms.
-- Intake has some ceramic engine primer spots, as in pics. Gas leaks from many years ago left some surface rust, engine paint primer is now on top of rust converter. Just need to order the mopar turquoise engine paint to finish off.
-- Minor surface rust on some underside areas, nothing rusted through.
-- Also can be seen in the pics, minor small bubbles/bumps lower rear quarters, couple small ding/scratches on front fenders.
