[T3] Invasion Prep!

[Jim Adney]

Well, the '69 Square is safely home. The fuel pump wouldn't run, but 
I finally got it out of the car last night and it's fine, just gunked 
up. I'll have it back together in a few days, rebuilt with all new 
O-rings and a freed up relief valve.

I've run it thru a FI test, and I can tell that 2 of the injectors 
are sticking. Those will probably have to come out and get cleaned 
and/or replaced.

The really good news is that the brakes seem to be just fine. Other 
than rust on the rotors and drums, they work just fine, thanks to 
DoT-5 silicone brake fluid.

The tires and hoses look okay, but I may change some hoses once the 
engine runs.

It had about 1/4" of dust on it from just sitting in my storage area, 
but once washed, the body looks about the same as when I parked it, 
nearly 14 years ago, so it's passable, but nothing to write home 
about. There was significant water in the car after I washed it, so I 
checked the water drain hoses and found the right one to be cracked. 
So that's been replaced. Both hoses were clear, just as they were 
after Dave and I prepped it 14 years ago.

Dave's body work on the rockers seems to have held up, and the rocker 
trim is in place.
