I acquired this vehicle from my grandpa a few years ago, I got it running after replacing the spark plugs, spark plugs wires, distributor, fuel pump and brake calipers that were seized. It now has a fuel line that is leaking and needs to be replaced. I plan on restoring the interior and eventually repainting it. Is there anything I should just replace due to the age or should I just wait until things break? Also are there any known issues with this years transmission or anything else that I should watch out for?
Have you replaced the starter/does the starter work?
The starter is original and still works.
On a car that old, I would check the rubber components (bushings, belts, hoses, etc.) and have a mechanic do a multipoint inspection on it to make sure everything else is in good order.
You'll probably be replacing the ABS module. They go out a lot. About $150 on Ebay.
