Rx207
I have a 1985 GLE with the 12A motor and a long list of things to do to it to get it on the road in the spring. It has sat on blocks for 10 years in a heated garage.
I am located in Maine, 207 is my area code. :-)
Here is my list of things to do to restore the car to stock:
1. Make/purchasenew muffler heat shield.
2. Repair/ purchase lower sheet metal pan (under radiator).
3. Purchase new muffler and all connection gaskets.
4. Install fuel tank
5. Install muffler heat shield and muffler.
6. Drain & remove old radiator.
7. Purchase new radiator + upper & lower hoses.
8. Replace oil cooler “O” rings, banjo “copper” & coolant hoses. “O” rings in stock
9. Install new radiator.
10. Clean all electrical connectors – Use spray cans of “contact cleaner”.
11. _Purchase_ new battery
12. Clean battery cable connections and install new battery.
13. Check out switch functions eg. Headlights & running lights, instruments, interior lighting, radio antenna, etc.
14. Replace all vacuum hoses – there are many
15. Replace windshield wipers blades.
16. Inspect front disks and brake pads – Inspect rear drum brakes. New pads & shoes in stock.
17. Replace tires – Size: 185 70 SR13
18. Re-assemble interior.
