The car drives great, but the brakes
|
do need adjustment as it will pull to the right since I pulled it out of storage. |
This vehicle has only been driven 6111 miles since restoration. |
There appears to be some oil leakage underneath. Not sure, it could be the rear main, but a car needs to be driven and that will straighten out with use.It has the original oil filter. When we did the restoration we wanted to keep it as near to original as possible. |
