Well, after getting sidetracked into building Jeeps (much more suitable vehicles for this location) I dug the '88 out of the overhang of the barn, stuck a battery in it, turned the key and it fired right up and settled down into a smooth idle. The only thing making this noteworthy was the fact that it was put away in the fall of '10 and sat untouched all this time, I don't even think I put fuel stabilizer in it, didn't expect it to sit that long.

I flushed the brake fluid and put new coolant in and it runs just as smooth as it ever did. And is just as much fun.

Gotta love these old things.
