Thumbs up Daily Driver

Well,after much chagrin,I finally got my '87 4x4 up and running.I must admit I done a dang fine job.I believe it runs better than it ever has.I re-did the lower and upper intake gaskets,valve cover gaskets,flushed cooling system,replaced the hoses,set timing ,tuned up,fixed a broken door handle,new switch -keys and locks,got her all shined up ,and ran the damn thing out of gas (just my luck)Well,anyways I got her in good shape and I'll be sporting her at the next meet... FF59
