Danny,

Email me offlist, at garyetie@yahoo.com if you're interested in the parts that have been mentioned that you also need, if you decide to plunge ahead.

I have a complete '70 E that I am disassembling. Although it has sat for 20 years, (Hasn't been registered since '83), and we all know what that means, it may actually only have 36K miles on it, as the odometer indicates, or it may not.

I'll put it this way, I pulled the nearly flawless steering wheel, to replace the cracked one in my '72 ES (95K, very good interior, but steering wheel cracked). Nothing whatsoever to indicate that it is anything but the original steering wheel.

I'm just starting to remove parts and form an opinion, but, the radiator is unmarred, and when I removed the valve cover, the rocker assembly had the sheen of new metal.

I don't mean to overstate anything, and I will be asking reasonable prices for the parts, but personally, I'm excited about this particular aquisition.

Some parts are spoken for by others (ie. brake booster/Master cylinder, but you have that). The calipers, shields, etc. that have been mentioned in this discussion are not spoken for, yet.

As others have highly recommended, get new brake lines.
