Yeah... I just sent him an email saying that I'm getting encouragement and advice from you guys, and am probably going to make it up there to take it down to Portland as my own. I asked him to take a look at the tires more closely, see if they're in decent condition enough and take some hi res pictures of them for me if he could. And then possibly check the U joints for me, and I asked him to confirm that the only sounds he heard while he drove it for his short drive were coming from the loud exhaust. Then I asked him about the brakes, and how they felt, he said they probably need new pads at least because of the way they felt, but judging by the look of the brake fluid, I bet that might have a bit to do with how the brake felt. Just in case I asked him to see if they're ATE or Girling brakes so I can bring some front pads if needed. They're cheap enough to get my hands on before I head up there.

So now I just need someone who can bring me up there, help me wrench for a few hours, and then drive back down to portland following me or something...

Thanks for the support guys!
