I am indeed having fun with the car. It's running quite a bit better now than when I took the bus to drive her 150 miles home. I think I've put 800+ miles on it in the 2 months I've had it. I LOVE taking this car on the 15 mile drive to Trader Joe's and back . . . all 2 lane highways with 45 MPH speed limits where this car is very much at home. I've driven it to work about once a week since owning it.

Short list of work done:
- New trunk seal
- New gas filler seal
- Rebuilt and refinished heater, new heater hoses and gaskets
- Radiator flush, new thermostat, new radiator hoses
- Alternator conversion and brake-light switch upgrade
- New seat webbing
- Halogen sealed beams
- New steering coupler
- Horn function restored
- Valve and timing adjustment
- Floors stripped, sealed and repainted inside and out
- Chokes adjusted for coming winter
- yadda, yadda, yadda

There are a couple more mechanical issues to sort out the most immediately troubling of which is that I think one of the rear drums is dragging. there is an RPM dependent rhythmic noise coming from the left rear.
