in order to replace the lines the rad had to come out

when we got it out we took the pressure washer and proceeded to wash the engin bay

once we were finished that we decided to replace this part (the replacment one)

being we had this part sitting in the back portch for 10 years and we had the rad out we replaced it maybe this will fix part of the oil leak anyhow we put the fan back on and the fan belt...... and proceed to start working on the brake lines

we get it back together and put it back on and relize while we were bleeding the lines for that side that driver side one is seazed so we take it off and are having a hell of a time trying to get it apart when we relize its about 4:30

so we stop for the day and clean up and relax o well the tank has almost all new bracke lines in the front now :) and soon cleaned calipers and new pads what a weekend next on the list befor we put the rad back in do some rust treatment work and some patching but soon i shall get my mother to fax me some documents so i can legaly take tittle and throw plates on it... don't need to get it saftied since its staying in the family :)
