I would like to thank all the people here who have given me immense help
with my newly acquired project of a car.

It is now (temporarily) on the road so I can figure out what the next
"phase" or repairs will be. It will include:

a. Brakes. Stops on the second kick even though it's bled,  rear brakes
well adjusted and doesn't leak a drop!! Will know if it's the servo once
I bypass it.

b. Clutch. Master pushrod holes seriously elongated, 1/4" of "material"
added to the slave pushrod plus a single long clear plastic hose all the
way from master to slave! Works OK but I don't like it when sometimes
1st and Reverse are nearly impossible to engage.

c. Suspension. Although everything appears to be OK I get plenty of
clonking noises from the rear and front-right when going over bumps.
Squeaks like an old horse carriage too, embarassing to say the least.
Where to start I don't know.

I've only had this car for 2 months and having worked on it for at least
5 hours every evening, I guess I'm doing well learning how to fix a car
noone else has ever seen around here, ha ha.

Thanks for your help.
