Thanks to a lot of help from this forum over the last few months, Bruno the 1989 164L is finally registered, insured and on the road.
It still has a few issues (funny groans from bearings mostly). It has been sitting around for a couple of years which explains quite a lot like odd noises coming from the front suspension on the side of the car I didn't have to work on
A/C not working, although the stepper motors aren't broken yet.
I'm not supposed to be giving it hell until I make sure everything is working OK, but did get tempted into a quick squirt down the bypass outside of town. I had forgotten just how quick these cars are - might have to adjust the steering wheel so I can see what the speedo needle is pointing to - that natural 100mph gait just isn't tolerated down under.
An oil change this weekend after some of the sludge is dislodged is on the cards, along with an investigation of some of the groans, but, well, YAY!
And Thanks!
