Thanks for the add, first time owning something that is almost a decade older than me.
I picked myself up an 81 T/A last week.
-305 (5.0l)
-Automatic
-Fresh paint 6 years ago
-Decal Kit
Needs done:
-Interior needs a full gut and redo. Will be changing color to black next winter (Interior kits are not cheap)
-Previous owner stated there was a "transmission" leak under the car. Took a look during my inspection and noticed it was an oil leak, not transmission.
Got it home, identified a few suspicious spots. Oil and grease buildup was HORRIBLE on this engine, previous owner definitely kept the hood down at the car shows he went too.
Ordered new: Valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, intake gaskets, carb gaskets already.
Just completed de-greasing and washing it out tonight.
Plan for this winter is to get it mechanically fit and leak free.
Than it will be time to plan and set a concrete plan for the future
Looking forward to browsing the forum and gaining some knowledge!
Beautiful cars out there!
